Abstract
A cyclic pipeline analog to digital converter includes a dual mode sample and hold circuit, a multiplying digital to analog converter (MDAC), a sub-analog to digital converter (sub-ADC) and a decoder. The dual mode sample and hold circuit has a charge-redistribution mode and a flip-around mode. The dual mode sample and hold circuit receives first and second input voltages and first and second feedback voltages and generates a differential output signal pair. The MDAC receives the differential output signal pair and a digital multiplying word and generates the first and second feedback voltages. The sub-ADC receives the differential output signal pair and generates the digital multiplying word and a digital output word. The decoder converts the digital output word to a digital output corresponding to the first and second input voltages.
