ABSTRACT:
A novel analog-to-digital converter (ADC) architecture using subranging successive approximation approach is disclosed. The ADC architecture is capable of achieving high sampling rate, low power consumption and low complexity. It is also able to advance the chip production yield and area utilization ratio. The new proposed ADC is formed by combining a flash converter having high sampling rate and low resolution with a successive approximation converter having low power consumption and low sampling rate.
