Analog-to-digital converters and pipeline analog-to-digital converters
Abstract:
An analog-to-digital converter is provided. The analog-to-digital converter includes a sampling-voltage providing circuit, a first comparison circuit, a second comparison circuit, and an encoder circuit. The sampling-voltage providing circuit provides a group of first comparison voltages and a group of second comparison voltages. The first comparison circuit performs a first comparison operation to an analog-signal input quantity according to the group of first comparison voltages to generate a first comparison digital quantity. The second comparison circuit selects second comparison voltages among the group of second comparison voltages according to the first comparison digital quantity and performs a second comparison operation to the analog-signal input quantity according to the selected second comparison voltages to generate a second comparison digital quantity. The encoder circuit encodes the first comparison digital quantity and the second comparison digital quantity and generates a digital quantity corresponding to the analog-signal input quantity.
