Hello @Boris Murmann and @mehdi, Yesterday we had an internal meeting with the chilean team and discussed the status of both projects. We decided to drop the SAR-ADC because we still have problems in the TOP simulations. Our team was not able to solve them, despite the amount of time used studying the ADC topology and tryig different alternatives. We will therefore divide our efforts in finishing a robust and testable version of our LDO, the padring for LTC2, and helping the other LTC2 teams (Japan and Korea) in case they need support. We regret this situtation, but given the fact that our team keeps loosing members week by week, we believe it's the most realistic approach. Please let us know if you have any thoughts on this. In any case, we can discuss further during the design review tomorrow.

If you are sure that the issue is nontrivial, it seems best to drop the ADC at this late stage. Less is sometimes more...
