A novel low-energy tri-level switching scheme for low-power successive approximation register (SAR) ADC is proposed. With the input common-mode voltage (Vcm) designed to be exactly half of the reference voltage (Vref ), the switching energy of the proposed switching scheme is reduced by 96.89% a...
