ABSTRACT:
A pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC) comprises a plurality of pipeline stages is disclosed. The first pipeline stage has programmable gain function. The first pipeline stage includes a sub-analog-to-digital converter (sub-ADC) and a multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC) implemented by switched capacitor (SC) circuits. Different capacitances in the sub-ADC and MDAC are provided so as to provide different gains by controlling switches in the SC circuits.
