40nm 13 bit SAR ADC

Overview

Imec offers a white-box IP license with support on a low power 13bit 6.4MS/s SAR ADC in 40nm CMOS. It successfully implements a low-power fully automated on-chip background calibration that utilizes a redundancy facilitated error-detection and correction scheme for the DAC mismatch and comparator offset

Key Features

  • Asynchronous dynamic logic
  • Two-mode comparator
  • Low power: 46uW at 1V, resulting 5.5fJ/conv.step
  • Fully on-chip background calibration
  • Little overhead in power, speed and area for the calibration

Applications

  • Communications
  • Data processing
  • Consumer Electronics
  • Automotive
  • Industrial and medical

Deliverables

  • Whitebox IP license (including CDS, schematic, layout, extracted, testbenches, scripts, matlab model, a.o. ) with technology transfer training and support
