ABSTRACT:
A pipelined analog-to-digital converter includes a plurality of stages each including a sample-and-hold circuit configured to output an analog signal having a current and a current mode analog-to-digital converter configured to compare the current of the analog signal output by the sample-and-hold circuit to current generated by a plurality of current sources and output a digital representation of the analog signal.
