    Abstract: A Successive Approximation Analog-to-Digital Converter (SAR_ADC) and method of operating the same are provided. Generally, the SAR_ADC includes a comparator having a first input to receive an input voltage (VIN), and a second input coupled to a n-bit capacitive digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to receive a voltage (VDAC), a Successive Approximation Register (SAR) coupled to a comparator output to provide n digital control signals to the DAC, and to store and output an n-bit binary-number approximating VIN, and a reference buffer to provide a voltage (VREF) to the DAC. The DAC sequentially drives each capacitance beginning with a most significant bit towards VREF, while the comparator compares the resulting VDAC to VIN, and the SAR sets or clears a current bit represented by the capacitance driven. The reference buffer includes adaptive power tuning to dynamically tune a drive-strength of the reference buffer based on the current bit.

    Abstract: A first portion of a programmable switched capacitor block includes a first plurality of switched capacitors and a second portion of the programmable switched capacitor block includes a second plurality of switched capacitors. A first switch associated with the first plurality of switched capacitors as well as a second switch associated with the second plurality of switched capacitors may be configured based on a type of analog function that is to be provided. The configuring of the first analog and the second analog block may include the configuring of the first switch associated with the first plurality of switched capacitors when the analog function operates on a first single ended signal and the configuring of both the first and second switches when the analog function operates on a differential signal
