Abstract: A time-interleaved noise-shaping successive-approximation analog-to-digital converter (TI NS-SAR ADC) is shown. A first successive-approximation channel has a first set of successive-approximation registers, and a first coarse comparator operative to coarsely adjust the first set of successive-approximation registers. A second successive-approximation channel has a second set of successive-approximation registers, and a second coarse comparator operative to coarsely adjust the second set of successive-approximation registers. A fine comparator is provided to finely adjust the first set of successive-approximation registers and the second set of successive-approximation registers alternately. A noise-shaping circuit is provided to sample residues of the first and second successive-approximation channels for the fine comparator to finely adjust the first and second sets of successive-approximation registers.

Abstract: A charge compensation circuit for use in an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes at least one capacitor and at least one logic circuit. A first terminal of the capacitor is coupled to a reference voltage of the analog-to-digital converter. The logic circuit is configured to adjust a voltage at a second terminal of the capacitor according to a control signal. The control signal is determined according to at least one output bit from the analog-to-digital converter.

Abstract: An input buffer for an ADC is provided. The input buffer includes a receiving circuit and an impedance circuit. The receiving circuit is coupled between a power supply and a sample-and-hold circuit of the ADC, and receives an analog input signal and generating an analog signal. The impedance circuit is coupled to the receiving circuit, and selectively provides a variable impedance. When the sample-and-hold circuit of the ADC is operated in a first phase, the impedance circuit provides a small impedance, and when the sample-and-hold circuit of the ADC is operated in a second phase, the impedance circuit provides a large impedance.
