Domino asynchronous successive approximation ADC
摘要:
The domino asynchronous successive approximation (ASA) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) converts an analog signal to an n-bits digital signal. The domino ASA ADC is made out of n-blocks, corresponding to the number of n-bits of the digital output. Each of these n-blocks generates a conversion bit and calibrates all following blocks, comparable to a domino structure. One key advantage of the domino ASA ADC is its modular structure; each block is independent from all others. The unity capacitors used need to be matched only within their specific blocks. The architecture is very flexible; it is possible to increase the resolution by adding more blocks of the same kind. The ASA ADC is very fast, its speed is only limited the RC constants during the sampling and measurement phase and the speed of the comparators used.
