**Due to technical difficulties, only the first 30 mins of the presentation was recorded. We apologize for any inconvenience.**
This talk will discuss several recent techniques that were developed in the context of SAR ADCs. The presentation will show a few design examples with different performance targets. The first topic deals with minimizing power consumption while aiming to increase accuracy by means of linearization and noise reduction techniques. The second topic is about efficient calibration techniques for SAR ADCs. The last part describes a method to co-integrate the reference buffer with the SAR ADC.
Pieter Harpe received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees from the Eindhoven University of Technology, The Netherlands. In 2008, he joined Holst Centre / imec where he worked on low-power ADCs. He joined Eindhoven University of Technology in April 2011, where he is currently an associate professor on low-power mixed-signal circuits. His main interests include power-efficient and reconfigurable data converters and low-power analog design. He is a TPC member for ISSCC, ESSCIRC and AACD, and served as Distinguished Lecturer for the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society. He is recipient of the IEEE ISSCC 2015 Distinguished Technical Paper Award.
