Abstract :
An 8-bit semi-flash ADC is reported that uses a single array of 15 comparators for both the coarse and the fine conversion. In the proposed circuit there are no DAC, no subtraction circuit sand no residue amplifier. As a result, moderate conversion speed has been combined with drastically reduced power consumption
