  • Abstract
    The main goal of portable applications is obtaining data conversion with very low power consumption while maintaining acceptable resolution and linearity. This paper presents various design methods for achieving figure of merit of 1 pJ-conv or less, usable other than sigma-delta architectures in pipeline and successive approximation algorithms. Results of state-of-the art designs are presented
