Abstract
The disclosure belongs to the field of integrated circuits, and is used for reducing an area overhead and a power consumption of a pipelined analog-to-digital converter. Each stage of the pipelined analog-to-digital converter according to the disclosure comprises an analogue-to-digital converter, a digital-to-analog converter, a subtractor and an amplifier. According to the disclosure, an amplification time of the pipelined ADC is used for extra quantization, and a number of bits of each ADC is reduced on the premise of not increasing a number of stages of the pipelined ADC, so that a scale of each circuit is greatly reduced, and the power consumption and the area overhead are reduced.
