    Abstract: A Successive Approximation Register Analog-to-Digital Converter (SAR ADC) is disclosed. The SAR ADC includes a switched capacitor array, a buffer, a comparator and a control logic circuit. The switched capacitor array is arranged to sample an input signal according to a switch control signal to generate a sampling signal. The buffer is arranged to generate a common mode voltage. The comparator is arranged to receive the sampling signal and the common mode voltage in order to generate a comparison result. The control logic circuit is arranged to generate an output signal according to the comparison result, and generate the switch control signal to control the switched capacitor array. The control logic circuit further generates an operation control signal to adjust a Miller compensation capacitor inside the buffer. An associated control method is also disclosed.
