In this paper, we report an ultra-low power successive-approximation-register (SAR) analog-to digital converter (ADC) by using a DAC timing strategy with considering overshoot effect to increase the sampling rate. This ADC is simulated for power supplies voltage of 0.6 V and 1.2 V in a 130-nm CMOS technology. The results indicate an ENOB greater than 9.3 bits for its full sampling-rate range (4 to 32 MS/s) with an FOM=5.3 to 9.3 fJ/conv-step.
