In this paper, we present a successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with a charge-pump (CP) phase-locked loop (PLL) and a bootstrapped switch, also called PLL-SAR ADC. To meet system-on-chip (SOC) and industrial requirements, the proposed SAR ADC and the control circuits of electric vehicles must be integrated into a single chip and be fabricated using the TSMC 0.25-μm 1P3M complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) high-voltage process. It is difficult to implement a high-speed SAR ADC with the TSMC 0.25-μm CMOS high-voltage process because it includes an N-type buried layer, which shorts all p-type metal oxide semiconductor field-effect transistor (PMOSFET) bodies together to withstand high voltages. In the proposed PLL-SAR ADC, two clock signals, an external clock signal and an internal clock signal from the CP-PLL, are provided to guarantee that a correct clock signal is fed. This design improves the robustness of the designed system. A monotonic capacitor-switching procedure is considered to reduce power consumption. Furthermore, a bootstrapped switch was added along with a dummy switch and a dummy transistor to eliminate disturbances in the input voltages and to improve the device’s anti-noise capability. Moreover, a two-stage dynamic comparator was used to prevent kickback noise induced by the parasitic capacitors. The measurements indicate that the signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio, effective number of bits, power consumption, and chip area are 53.82 dB, 8.65 bits, 1.256 mW, and 1.261 × 0.975 mm2, respectively. The FoM is approximately 0.625 pJ/conv-step at 1.256 mW, 8.65 bits, and 5 MS/s. The high sampling rate of 5 MS/s and high accuracy of 8.65 bits are the main advantages of the proposed PLL-SAR ADC.
