Abstract :
This paper presents the development of a low-power rail-to-rail SAR-ADC to be used in a medical implants. The first part discusses the principle schematic and the requirements for the neuronal implant application. Additionally, a full description of each part of this ADC SAR will be given. And finally the last part presents measurement results of a fabricated test chip in 0.35μM CMOS technology, with 86μW of power consumption, 12bits of resolution, and a speed of 24Ks/S.
