This paper describes a novel stochastic ADC topology with a wide input range. Stochastic ADC utilizes the randomness of process mismatch in comparators. Offset voltage which is Gaussian distributed represents the input range of stochastic ADCs. Stochastic ADCs have several limitations and drawbacks, such as limited input signal range and large number of required comparators to achieve high resolution. Some methods have been proposed to increase the input signal range at the expense of resolution. In this work we propose a novel stochastic ADC circuitry capable of increasing the input signal range without any sacrifice in the resolution. This new topology cycles the signal until it is within the offset voltage standard deviation. The Stochastic ADC is simulated using MATLAB SIMULINK.
