A 16nm 69dB SNDR 300MSps ADC with capacitive reference stabilization

We present a 300 MSps 2 times interleaved pipelined SAR ADC in 16nm digital CMOS. It implements a new scheme to cancel reference voltage ripple due to DAC switching, greatly reducing requirements for decoupling capacitance and/or reference buffering, and achieves better than 76dB harmonic distortion. At 300 MSps, the peak ENOB is 11.2 bit with a power consumption of 3.6mW.
