A 10-bit pipeline ADC using 40-dB opamps and calibrated customized references
A 10-bit pipeline A/D converter using low gain (<= 40 dB) operational amplifiers (opamps) is presented. Without. interfering the normal analog-to-digital conversion, a continuous reference refreshing technique is exploited. This technique effectively reduces the gain requirement of opamp while the conversion speed is not compromised, allowing the use of simple cascode CMOS inverters. The compensat
