Analog-to-digital converters (ADC) are widely employed to monitor long-term signal characteristics in wireless sensor networks and healthcare electronic devices. It is critical in these applications to use an energy-efficient ADC to extend battery life. This paper presents a 15-bit successive-approximation register (SAR) ADC for using in biomedical processing systems. The segmentation degrees (the amount of bits in each divided capacitive sub-array) are optimized to minimize switching power and area based on linearity and matching requirements. The proposed SAR ADC is simulated by using Simulink of Matlab. The simulated results show that the ADC achieves 14.78-bit of effective numbers of bits (ENoB), 111.5 dB of the spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) with 90.74 dB of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) at a sampling rate of 10MHz.
