Ultra low-power 12-bit SAR ADC for RFID applications

The design and first measuring results of an ultra-low power 12bit Successive-Approximation ADC for autonomous multi-sensor systems are presented. The comparator and the DAC are optmised for the lowest power consumption. The proposed design has a power consumption of 0.52µW at a bitclock of 50-kHz and of 0.85µW at 100-kHz with a
