| Sumario: | This paper presents a 9-bit 1 GS/s successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). In this hybrid architecture, the pseudo-pipeline operation is realized, which increases the sampling rate effectively. The ADC adopts two key technologies: the variable gain voltage-to-time converter (VTC), which ensures the linearity is not sacrificed; the segmented time-to-digital converter (STDC), which further improves the linearity of time domain quantization. The prototype ADC is simulated in a standard 65-nm CMOS process with an active area of 0.038 mm<sup>2</sup>. The simulated SNDR and SFDR are 44.3 and 58 dB with a sampling rate of 1 GS/s. The FoMW and FoMS are 24.7 fJ/conv-step and 150.7 dB, respectively. |
