Abstract

AbstractThe kT/C noise cancellation technique can effectively reduce the digital‐to‐analog converter (DAC) size for successive approximation register ADCs and thus relax the burden for input drivers and reference buffers. However, the prior kT/C noise cancellation technique suffers from a hard trade‐off between the noise, amplifier bandwidth and linearity. Here, an improved kT/C noise cancellation technique is proposed to break the trade‐off. It uses presampling to hold the input signal unchanged during the noise cancelling phase, leading to significantly relaxed requirements on the bandwidth and linearity of the amplifier. The proposed technique is verified in a 14‐bit 200 MS/s SAR analog‐to‐digital converter (ADC) with a DAC size of 128 fF. Simulation results show that this work achieves 75.6 dB signal to noise and distortion ratio and consumes 1.56 mW power.
