Abstract
A stage of a pipeline ADC which uses separate pairs of sampling network and amplifier (in a sample and hold circuit (SHA)) to provide inputs to quantizer (which generates a sub-code) and a switched capacitor network (implementing a DAC, a subtractor and amplification). Due to the use of separate components/paths to provide the input signal, the throughput performance of the ADC is enhanced.
