Design of a 10-b pipelined ADC without calibration

This paper describes the design of a 10-b fully differential pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The pipelined ADC has been designed using the switched-opamp technique without calibration in a 0.7 µm CMOS process for sensor applications. Low power consumption is one of the most important issues. An operational amplifier (opamp) sharing technique was used to decrease the power usage.
