Abstract
A single-ended successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes a first digital-to-analog converter (DAC) having a first capacitor associated with a most significant bit (MSB) of the output code, and a second capacitor associated with other bit or bits of the output code; and a second DAC having a first capacitor associated with a MSB of the output code, and a second capacitor associated with other bit or bits of the output code. A bottom plate of the first capacitor of the second DAC is connected to a negative reference voltage in all phases.
