Abstract
An integrated circuit including a segmented successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes a first capacitive structure with a first plurality of capacitive structure subcomponents that each include a first terminal selectively connected to one of a plurality of input voltage nodes and a second terminal connected to a common conductor, and second capacitive structure with a second plurality of capacitive structure subcomponents that each include a first terminal selectively connected to one of the plurality of input voltage nodes and a second terminal connected to the common conductor. The first and second plurality of capacitive structure subcomponents are arranged in an array in which none of the first plurality of capacitive structure subcomponents are directly adjacent to one another and none of the second plurality of capacitive structure subcomponents are directly adjacent to one another in a first row in the array.
