ASR ADC Segmantation

msb 6bit with CAP binary weighted, lsb 6bits thermometric resistor ladder

data rate 2Mbps, 28Mhz clock.

continuous-time comparator(signle stage opamp) with two cascade satges used autozeroing technique for offset cancellation(with i/p cap of 100f/500f)

when i run enob simulation only with real comparator and everything ideal with 100f cap(offset cancelation in AZ technique)gives
enob=11.8 and with 500f enob=10.8.

why enob is decreasing with cap. increase

100f cap is not too small for noise requirement, so i want to use higher cap which is degrading my enob.

** As comparator is only real there is no harmonic distortion only quantization noise. Am I right.?

Thanks in advance

enob generally directly related with offset errors, gain errors. verify if your auto zeroing stage works fine with 100fF/500fF cap.
