Abstract
A 10b 250MS/s SAR ADC using a fast loop is presented. The SAR loop delay is minimized using a two-speed variable clock generator, a semi-dynamic comparator and a latch based SAR logic. A metastability detection circuit with minimized self-metastability window is also proposed. The SAR ADC is implemented in 65nm CMOS process and achieves 250 MS/s with ENOB of 8.63b while dissipating 6mA at 1.2V supply.
