TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the performance of asynchronous and synchronous A-D converters and showed that an asynchronous converter is more reliable than its synchronous counterpart, and that the bundled data design is also faster, on average, than the synchronous design.

Abstract: Analog to digital (A-D) converters with a fixed conversion time are subject to errors due to metastability. These errors will occur in all converter designs with a bounded time for decisions, and are potentially severe. We estimate the frequency of these errors in a successive approximation converter, and compare the results with asynchronous designs using both a fully speed-independent, and a bundled data approach. It is shown that an asynchronous converter is more reliable than its synchronous counterpart, and that the bundled data design is also faster, on average, than the synchronous design. We also demonstrate trade-offs involved in asynchronous converter designs, such as speed, robustness to delay variations, circuit size and design scalability.

Efficient detection of metastability events in asynchronous SAR ADCs
Dmitry Osipov
- 21 Nov 2022
TL;DR: In this article , a new approach is proposed to deal with the metastability errors in asynchronous SAR ADCs, which uses both comparators' outputs to detect whether metastability occurred at all during conversion (without determining in which particular bit).

Synchronous and asynchronous A-D conversion
