An 8-bit 4 GS/s 8-channel time-interleaved successive approximation register (SAR) analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) is presented. To enhance the ENOB (effective number of bits), a meta-stability immunity technique is proposed, which utilises pre-installation to eliminate uncertain decision. The t...
