Abstract
An analog-to-digital converter includes a first converter stage, a second converter stage coupled to the first converter stage to quantize a residue signal of the first converter stage, and an inter-stage converter disposed between the first and second converter stages. The inter-stage converter is configured to convert between a first domain and a second domain. The inter-stage converter is configured to process the residue signal of the first converter stage such that a range of the residue signal matches a full scale of the second converter stage.
