Abstract
Systems and methods are related to a successive approximation analog to digital converter (SAR ADC). The SAR ADC includes a sample and digital to analog conversion (DAC) circuit configured to sample an input voltage, a comparator circuit coupled to the sample and DAC circuit and having an output, a first set of storage circuits, and a comparator driver. The comparator driver is disposed between the output and the first set of storage circuits (e.g., ratioed latched. The first set of storage circuits are coupled to the comparator circuit and the sample and DAC circuit. The comparator driver can include a first driver and second driver. The first driver is coupled to a first input of a first storage circuit of the first set of storage circuits, and the second driver is coupled to first inputs of a second set of storage circuits within the first set of storage circuits.
