Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods are provided for a successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with an ultra-low burst error rate. Analog-to-digital conversions may be applied via a plurality of successive conversion cycles, with each conversion cycle corresponding to a particular bit in a corresponding digital output. Meta-stability may be detected during each one of the plurality of successive conversion cycles, and for each one of the plurality of successive conversion cycles, a next one of the plurality of successive conversion cycles may be triggered based on a cycle termination event. After completion of all of the plurality of successive conversion cycles, a meta-stability state of each of the plurality of successive conversion cycles may be assessed, and the digital output may be controlled based on the assessment.
