Abstract

See full text

A successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) comprises a comparator for generating a comparison value according to an analog signal; a SAR, coupled to the comparator, comprises N memory units, each memory unit storing a control value and the N control values being related to the comparison value, N being an integer greater than two; and a thermometer-coded DAC, which generates the analog signal and is coupled to the comparator and the SAR. The thermometer-coded DAC comprises N capacitors. The N capacitors are respectively coupled to the N memory units. The N terminal voltages of the N capacitors are respectively controlled by the N control values.
