description The distinct advantages of low power consumption and hardware compactness make SAR ADCs especially appealing in scaled CMOS technologies, garnering significant attention. The residue left on the capacitor digital-to-analog converter (CDAC) after conversion in the SAR ADC negates the need for complex residue extraction circuits. This crucial feature has inspired numerous SAR-assisted architectural variations, employed in a range of applications from high resolution to high speed. This article introduces several energy-efficient hybrid ADC architectures that incorporate SAR ADCs as their sub blocks, including the following: SAR-assisted subranging SAR, which saves DAC switching power and can detect skew errors for time-interleaved ADCs; SAR-flash hybrid for energy-efficient high-speed conversion; SAR-assisted dual-residue pipelined ADC, which eliminates the stringent requirement for residue gain accuracy; and SAR-assisted delta–sigma modulator (DSM) with digital-domain noise coupling, which reduces the number of required analog integrators.
