Abstract :
Two flexible and technology-independent module generators providing very compact and high performance realizations of binary weighted capacitor (BWC) and scaled switch (SS) arrays have been implemented. These generators are general enough to become a powerful tool in layout compilers for binary-weighted-capacitors-based analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and digital-to-analog converters. Currently, they have been successfully used in a CAD system for automated synthesis of successive approximation ADC
