Abstract:
A pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes a hybrid multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC) that includes multiple digital-to-analog converters (DACs), at least one conversion circuit, and at least one amplifier such that a number of conversion circuits and a number of amplifiers is less than a number of DACs. Each DAC is configured to receive an analog input signal in non-overlapping durations of a clock signal and generate a corresponding analog output signal. At least one of the conversion circuits is coupled with at least two DACs, and each conversion circuit is configured to perform conversion operation on a corresponding analog output signal to generate digital signals. At least one of the amplifiers is coupled with at least two DACs, and each amplifier is configured to perform amplification operation on a corresponding analog output signal.
