This paper presents a fully on-chip small area dual slope ADC for biomedical application. Base on the proposed multi-window dividing method
the RC time constant of the integrator is greatly reduced
which helps the ADC to save large amount of area for the on-chip capacitor. The auto-zero technique is applied to reduce the offset of integrator
and dynamic comparator is used to save power. The proposed 10 bit dual slope ADC has a sampling rate of 418S/s at 2 V supply voltage
consuming 18.5 μA current. The proposed dual slope ADC is implemented in 0.35 μm CMOS process occupying an area of 0.16 mm. Matlab simulation results show that the effective number of bits (ENOB) for the ADC is 9.77 bit.
