Abstract
This paper presents a 100MS/s 9b companding SAR ADC which exploits the statistical properties of broadband multi-carrier signals to reduce the dynamic range requirement for the ADC. The architecture emulates the performance of a higher resolution ADC by reducing the PAPR of a multi-carrier signal to that of a single carrier. Additionally, gain-before-sampling results in reduced sampling capacitor size which lowers power and area. To verify the concept, a prototype implemented in TSMC's 65nm GP CMOS process consumes 12.27 mW at 100 MS/s while extending the dynamic range of the sub-ADC by 13 dB, and resulting in a Schreier FOM of 150.7 dB.
