A 4.3fJ/Conversion-Step 6440μm 2 All-Dynamic Capacitance-to-Digital Converter with Energy-Efficient Charge Reuse

An ultra-low power all-dynamic capacitance-to-digital converter (CDC) that exploits a novel charge reuse technique is proposed, achieving a FoM as low as 4.3fJ/conv-step, which is >3× better than the state-of-the-art. It supports an inherent scaling of power vs. speed with a minimum power of only 44pW and a compact chip area of 6440μm2.
