Abstract:
Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for analog to digital conversion. For example, a pipelined analog to digital converter is disclosed that includes two or more comparators. A first of the comparators is operable to compare an analog input to a first voltage reference upon assertion of the first clock, and a second of the comparators is operable to compare the analog input to a second voltage reference upon assertion of the second clock. The pipelined analog to digital converters further include a multiplexer tree with at least a first tier multiplexer and a second tier multiplexer. The first tier multiplexer receives an output of the first comparator and an output of the second comparator, and the second tier multiplexer receives an output derived from the first tier multiplexer. The second tier multiplexer provides an output bit. A bit enable set is used as a selector input to the first tier multiplexer and the second tier multiplexer, and the bit enable set includes one or more output bits from preceding bit periods.
