Abstract

A semi-synchronous clocking scheme is proposed for successive approximation register (SAR) analogto- digital converters (ADCs). The conversion time is dynamically allocated to the comparator decision and to the DAC settling in every bit cycle. This significantly improves the conversion speed.
