  4. Abstract:
  5. A low power four bit mixed Successive Approximation Register (SAR)-Flash Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) for Sigma-Delta ADC applications is presented. The ADC uses three comparators in order to reduce the latency of typical SAR ADCs. Three comparators are used for conversion of 2 bits per one clock cycle. One of the Digital to Analog Converters (DACs) is replaced by three resistors which can save power and area. The ADC is simulated by Cadence Spectre using TSMC 0.18um COMS technology. The power consumption at 165MS/s and 1.8V supply voltage is 1.8mW. The SNDR and SFDR for 10MHz input are 19.8dB and 28.4dB, respectively
