Abstract

This paper presents a band-pass noise-shaping (NS) successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a second-order modulator which is comprised of a fully passive switched-capacitor (SC) filter and a gain-boosted dynamic amplifier. It employs the error-feedback (EF) structure in a simple method to implement the complicated noise transfer function (NTF) zeros, which enhances the noise-shaping capability by minimally modifying a standard SAR ADC. Designed in 28 nm CMOS process, the prototype of proposed NS-SAR ADC achieves 76.84 dB signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) with the bandwidth between 20 and 40 MHz and the FoMw is only 2.24 fJ/step at the oversampling ratio (OSR) of 5.
