Abstract
A noise-shaping successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (NS-SAR ADC) using a passive noise-shaping technique with 1-input-pair SAR comparator is introduced. A residue sampling and integration circuit is coupled between a DAC and the comparator, for sampling a residue voltage generated by the DAC and charge-sharing of the sampled residue voltage. A first integral capacitor is coupled between a first input terminal of a comparator and a first output terminal of a DAC. After a first residue capacitor samples a residue generated by the DAC, the first residue capacitor is coupled to the first integral capacitor for charge-sharing of the residue voltage.
