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.

Rail-to-rail 입력 범위를 가지는 200kS/s 10-bit successive approximation (SA) ADC가 제안된다. 제안된 SA ADC는 DAC, 비교기, 그리고 successive approximation register (SAR) logic으로 구성된다. DAC는 전력소모를 줄이고 면적을 줄이기 위해 capacitor를 이용한 folded-type으로 구현되며, parasitic 성분에 의한 영향을 줄이기 위해 boosted NMOS switch를 사용한다. 또한 fully differential voltage-to-time converter를 이용하는 time-domain comparator를 제안한다. 이는 PSRR 및 CMRR을 향상시킨다. 또한 출력의 유효구간을 반으로 줄인 flip-flop을 사용함으로 SAR logic의 전력소모와 chip area를 줄인다. 제안된 SA ADC는 1V supply를 가지는 $0.18{\mu}m$ CMOS 공정을 사용한다.

Phase interpolation is widely adopted in frequency synthesizers and clock-and-data recovery systems to produce an intermediate phase from two existing phases. The intermediate phase is typically generated by combining two input phases with different weights. Unfortunately, this results in non-uniform phase steps. Alternatively, the intermediate phase can be generated by successive approximation, where the interpolated phase at each approximation stage is obtained using the same weight for the two intermediate phases. As a proof of concept, this study presents a 2-GHz 8-bit successive approximation digital-to-phase converter that is designed using 65-nm CMOS technology. The converter receives an 8-phase clock signal as input, and the most significant bit (MSB) section selects four phases to create two sinusoidal waveforms using a harmonic rejection filter. The remaining least significant bit (LSB) section applies the successive approximation to generate the required intermediate phase. Monte-Carlo simulations show that the proposed converter exhibits 0.46-LSB integral nonlinearity and 0.31-LSB differential nonlinearity with a power consumption of 3.12 mW from a 1.2-V supply voltage.

A new circuit configuration for charge-balancing successive approximation Analog-to-Digital converters is described. This consists of a improved successive approximation register(SAR) and a weighted capacitor Digital-to-Analog converter (WCDAC). Due to the inherent conversion property of the WCDAC, the A/D converter using the WCDAC can be simply implemented by successive approximation conversion method, and 4bit monotonicity conversion with differential nonlinearity less 1/2LSB is completed in 80 US.

In this paper a new method to correct the differential non-linearity(D NL) error for a successive approximation is proposed. The DNL of ADC is very important characteristic in the field of radiation pulse height analysis or measurement of probability density function. The results of computer simulations are shown to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed correction method.

The channel irregularity of Successive Approximation ADC is very large in comparison with other type of ADCs. This characteristic makes it impossible to apply the Successive Approximation ADC to the field of radiation pulse height analysis or the measurement of probability density function. In this paper, an analysis of differential non-linearity of this ADC-is presented. It is made clear that the small deviation of resistance causes very large differential non-linearity.

The charge redistribution digital-to-analog converter(CR-DAC) is often used for successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter(SAR ADC) that requiring low power consumption and small circuit area. However, CR-DAC is required 2 to the power of N unit capacitors to generate reference voltage for successive approximation of the N-bit SAR ADC, and many unit capacitors occupy large circuit area and consume more power. In order to improve this problem, this paper proposes SAR ADC using series capacitor DAC. The series capacitor DAC is required 2(1+N) unit capacitors to generate reference voltage for successive approximation and charges only two capacitors of the reference generation block. Because of these structural characteristics, the SAR ADC using series capacitor DAC can reduce the power consumption and circuit area. Proposed SAR ADC was designed in CMOS 180nm process, and at 1.8V supply voltage and 500kS/s sampling rate, proposed 6-bit SAR ADC have signal-to-noise and distortion ratio(SNDR) of 36.49dB, effective number of bits(ENOB) of 5.77-bit, power consumption of 294uW.

This paper presents a new algorithm for the closed-loop $H_{\infty}$ control of a class of singularly perturbed nonlinear systems with an exogenous disturbance, using the successive Galerkin approximation (SGA). The singularly perturbed nonlinear system is decomposed into two subsystems of a slow-time scale and a fast-time scale in the spirit of the general theory of singular perturbation. Two $H_{\infty}$ control laws are obtained to each subsystem by using the SGA method. The composite control law that consists of two $H_{\infty}$ control laws of each subsystem is designed. One of the purposes of this paper is to design the closed-loop $H_{\infty}$ composite control law for the singularly perturbed nonlinear systems via the SGA method. The other is to reduce the computational complexity when the SGA method is applied to the high order systems.

In this study, the stresses and electric potential redistributions of a cylinder made from functionally graded piezoelectric material (FGPM) are investigated. All the mechanical, thermal and piezoelectric properties are modeled as power-law distribution of volume fraction. Using the coupled electro-thermo-mechanical relations, strain-displacement relations, Maxwell and equilibrium equations are obtained including the time dependent creep strains. Creep strains are time, temperature and stress dependent, the closed form solution cannot be found for this constitutive differential equation. A semi-analytical method in conjunction with the Mendelson method of successive approximation is therefore proposed for this analysis. Similar to the radial stress histories, electric potentials increase with time, because the latter is induced by the former during creep deformation of the cylinder, justifying industrial application of such a material as efficient actuators and sensors.
