Abstract
A switched capacitor pipeline ADC stage is disclosed, in which a reset switch is included to reset the sampling capacitor during a first part of the sampling period. The reset switch thereby removes history and makes the sampling essentially independent of previous samples taken, thus reducing inter symbol interference (IS) and distortion resulting therefrom, without significantly affecting the sampling period or power usage of the device.
