Abstract:
SAR-DAC devices and operation methods of SAR-DAC devices are provided. An exemplary SAR-DAC device includes a comparator having a positive input terminal and a negative input terminal; and a DAC core unit including a first capacitor, a second capacitor, and a current-controlled discharging structure. The first capacitor includes a first charging-discharging terminal. The second capacitor includes a second charging-discharging terminal. The current-controlled discharging structure includes current beam circuit units. Each current beam circuit unit includes a first discharging input terminal connected to the first charging-discharging terminal and a second discharging input terminal connected to the second charging-discharging terminal. The current-controlled discharging structure is configured to discharge the first capacitor through the first discharging input terminal by using at least some of the current beam circuit units; and to discharge the second capacitor through the second discharging input terminal using at least some of the current beam circuit units.
