Abstract:
A pipeline analog to digital (A/D) converter. The pipeline A/D converter having a sample and hold amplifier stage, the sample and hold amplifier stage sampling an analog input signal during a first clock pulse signal. The pipeline A/D converter having an analog signal converter stage, the analog signal converter stage sampling the analog input signal during a first clock pulse signal. According to another aspect of the invention, the pipeline A/D converter converts an analog input signal into a digital representation of the analog input signal. The pipeline A/D converter has a clock generator, the clock generator generating a first clock pulse signal, a second clock pulse signal and a third clock pulse signal. A sample and hold stage samples an analog input signal during the pulse of the first clock signal and holds a sampled voltage signal during the pulse of the second clock signal. A first analog signal converter stage converts and latches the sampled and held voltage signal into a digital output during the pulse of the second clock signal, a most significant bit of the digital representation of the analog input signal being derived from the digital output.
