Abstract

Successive approximation A/D converters have an advantage of small chip area and simple algorithm. We propose an improved non-redundant successive approximation register (SAR) which can be incorporated in successive approximation A/D converters. The proposed SAR validates the preset state as the $1^{st}$ reference voltage to the comparator. Two redundant clock cycles in the typical design could be eliminated in the proposed A/D converter.
