Design considerations for the touch screen SAR ADC are included. With a 1.8 V power supply, the DNL （differential non-linearity） and INL （integral non-linearity） of this converter are measured to be about 0.32 LSB and 0.81 LSB respectively. With an input frequency of 91 kHz at 200-kS/s sampling rate, the spurious-free dynamic range and effective-number-of-bits are measured to be 63.2 dB and 9.15 bits respectively, and the power is about 136 μW. This converter occupies an area of about 0.08 mm^2. The design results show that it is very suitable for touch screen SoC applications.展开更多

In the circuit design, an R-C hybrid architecture D/A converter, pseudo-differential comparison architecture and low power voltage level shiflers are utilized. Design challenges and considerations are also discussed. In the layout design, each unit resistor is sided by dummies for good matching performance, and the capacitors are routed with a common-central symmetry method to reduce the nonlinearity error. This proposed converter is implemented based on 90 nm CMOS logic process. With a 3.3 V analog supply and a 1.0 V digital supply, the differential and integral nonlinearity are measured to be less than 0.36 LSB and 0.69 LSB respectively. With an input frequency of 1.2 MHz at 2.5 MS/s sampling rate, the SFDR and ENOB are measured to be 72.86 dB and 9.43 bits respectively, and the power dissipation is measured to be 6.62 mW including the output drivers. This SAR A/D converter occupies an area of 238× 214 μm^2. The design results of this converter show that it is suitable for multi-supply embedded SoC applications.展开更多

The circuit consists of two variable gain amplifiers（VGA） in cascade and a Gm-C elliptic low-pass filter（LPF）. The filter-order and the cut-off frequency of the LPF can be reconfigured to satisfy the requirements of various applications.
