MASSAR

Missing Attachment

MASsive Successive Approximation Register (MASSAR)

The power consumption for an array of high resolution and fast Analog to Digital converter is under control.

» Description and functionalities

- Converter, based on SAR architecture, allowing for high dynamics and including 512 paths, resolution and hundreds of channel in parallel
- Compatible with future VHR (Very High Resolution) Camera

» Technology

- CMOS, 0.35um Technology
- SAR (Successive Approximation Register) Architecture

» Performances

Best compromise between power consumption (0.5mW/ch), resolution (14 bit) and the conversion speed (0.5MSPS/ch)
