A 26 \mu W 8 bit 10 MS/s Asynchronous SAR ADC for Low Energy Radios

This paper presents an asynchronous SAR ADC for flexible, low energy radios. To achieve excellent power efficiency for a relatively moderate resolution, various techniques are introduced to reduce the power consumption: custom-designed 0.5 fF unit capacitors minimize the analog power consumption whi...
