“…This is due to the demand of high performance, portable and battery-powered equipment. It has been shown that, among the existing ADCs, the algorithmic ADC offers the advantages of both the circuit performance and small in size of chip area (Pouliquen et al 1991, Fong et al 1994, Signell et al 1997, Chang and Lee 1998, Zheng et al 2000, Quinn and Pribytko 2003. In addition, the N-bit resolution of an algorithmic ADC can be simply realized by cascading of N-bit cells.…”
