    Abstract: An asynchronous SAR ADC converts an analog signal into a series of digital pulses in an efficient, low power manner. In synchronous SAR ADC circuits, a separate and cumbersome clock signal is used to trigger the internal circuitry of the SAR ADC. Instead of triggering the components of the SAR DAC synchronously with a clock signal, the asynchronous solution uses its own internal signals to trigger its components in an asynchronous cyclic manner. Further, in order to increase efficiency and guard against circuit failures due to difficulties arising from transient signals, the asynchronous SAR ADC may also include a delay circuit for introducing a variable delay to the SAR ADC cycle.

    Abstract: An amplifier has a first pull-up path coupled between a voltage supply node and an output node, and a pull-down path coupled between the output node and a ground supply node. A second pull-up path is coupled between the voltage supply node and the output node. The second pull-up path is actuated by a feedback signal and biased by a biasing signal. An inverter circuit is operable to invert the signal at the amplifier output node to generate the feedback signal. A biasing circuit is configured to generate the biasing signal. The biasing circuit is configured to control a relative strength of the pull-down path to the second pull-up path, wherein the pull-down path is stronger than the second pull-up path in a manner that is consistently present over all PVT corners.
