Research on FoMs of SAR ADC

Abstract

Abstract. SAR ADC is the best choice for low-power and high-resolution application in signal processing systems, since it is fit to work in midst rate per conversion (MSPS, GSPS). In order to guide trade-off design better, this paper starts with analyzing the advantages and disadvantages of known FoMs (figure of merits) of traditional SAR ADC. To keep the characteristic of minimum merit values and grasp the feature of bright distinctive degrees, one novel FoM of SAR ADC was built with five key parameters. Total four kinds of FoMs were compared with convinced data from 15 pieces latest literatures, including Q (based on 2-parameter), FoM 0 (based on 3-parameter), and FoM 4 (based on 2-parameter). As interesting results, the compromised design parameters region had gained. This work may provide SAR ADC designers one new practical evaluation function for efficient optimization design future.

“…Here from the perspective of switching energy [42,43] , we use PDP as FOM to evaluate the techs' advances of synapse-like circuits in Table 1 [12,15,42−49] .…”

FOMs of Consciousness Measurement

“…To build apt and valid FOM is an academic paradigm in scientific and technic fields such as golden ratio and resistivity. To push forward further brain health microelectronics we like to introduce three basic FOM models as followed [4].…”
