A 12-bit Hybrid SAR-Time-Domain ADC for New Space Systems
This paper presents a 12-bit hybrid analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for harsh-environment and Low Earth Orbit (LEO) applications. The architecture partitions the conversion into a 4-bit coarse successive approximation register (SAR) stage and an 8-bit fine time-domain stage. By confining the binary-weighted capacitor...
