Abstract

A successive-approximation register analog-to-digital converter with current steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and voltage input is presented. Passive current-to-voltage conversion is used at the DAC output. A technique for increasing the settling speed without extra current consumption is proposed. Simulations of schematic example confirm the improvement.
