An Ultra-Low Power Charge Redistribution Successive Approximation Register A/D Converter for Biomedical Applications

Power consumption is one of the key design constraints in biomedical devices such as pacemakers that are powered by small non rechargeable batteries over their entire life time. In these systems, Analog to Digital Convertors (ADCs) are used as interface between analog world and digital domain and play a key role. In this paper we present the design of an 8-bit Charge Redistribution Successive Approximation Register (CR-SAR) analog to digital converter in standard TSMC 0.18μm CMOS technology for low power and low data rate devices such as pacemakers. The 8-bit optimized CR-SAR ADC achieves low power of less than 250nW with conversion rate of 1KB/s. This ADC achieves integral nonlinearity (INL) and differential nonlinearity (DNL) less than 0.22 least significant bit (LSB) and less than 0.04 LSB respectively as compared to the standard requirement for the INL and DNL errors to be less than 0.5 LSB. The designed ADC operates at 1V supply voltage converting input ranging from 0V to 250mV.
