A 10 b 50 MHz pipelined CMOS A/D converter with S/H

A single 5 V, 10 b, 50 MHz pipelined CMOS analog-to-digital (A/D) converter with internal sample-and-hold (S/H) circuits was developed. The A/D converter features a newly developed S/H circuit with an 80 dB, 300 MHz operational amplifier, three-stage pipelined 4 b flash A/D converters with digital error correction functions, and double analog signal conversion paths whose operations are interleaved. The new A/D converter was fabricated with 0.8 mu m CMOS technology.<
