摘要:

本文提出了一种应用于生物医学的超低功耗逐次逼近型模数转换器(SAR ADC).针对SAR ADC主要模块进行超低功耗设计.数模转换(DAC)电路采用vcm-based以及分段电容阵列结构来减小其总电容,从而降低了DAC功耗.同时提出了电压窗口的方法在不降低比较器精度的情况下减小其功耗.此外,采用堆栈以及多阈值晶体管结构来减小低频下的漏电流.在55nm工艺下进行设计和仿真,在0.6V电源电压以及10kS/s的采样频率下,ADC的信噪失真比(SNDR)为73.3dB,总功耗为432nW,品质因数(FOM)为11.4fJ/Conv.

Abstract:

An ultra-low power successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter for biomedical application is proposed.Many ultra-low power design methods are utilized for its main modules.The digital-to-analog converter (DAC) employs a vcm-based and split capacitor array structure to cut down the total capacitance, so as the power consumption.Voltage window technique is used to decrease the power consumption of the comparator without sacrificing its accuracy.Furthermore, stack forcing and multi-Vt design approaches are used to reduce the leakage current under low frequency.The proposed SAR ADC is designed and simulated in 55nm process.With 0.6V power supply and 10kS/s sampling rate, the ADC achieves a signal-to-noise-and-distortion-ratio (SNDR) of 73.3dB.The total power consumption is 432nW and the figure-of-merit (FOM) is 11.4fJ/Conv.

Key words: analog-to-digital converter (ADC), successive approximation register (SAR), voltage window, ultra-low power
