Abstract
A successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with high linearity for generating an n-bit converted output includes a first capacitor digital-to-analog (DAC) and a second capacitor DAC. One of the first capacitor DAC and the second capacitor DAC that has greater output signal is defined as a higher-voltage capacitor DAC, and the other as an un-switching capacitor DAC. In an m-th conversion phase, an (m−1)-th capacitor of the un-switching capacitor DAC is switched according to a comparison between output signals of the higher-voltage capacitor DAC and the un-switching capacitor DAC.
