Abstract: 

Pipelined ADCs are widely used in Nyquist sampling applications that require a combination of high resolution and high throughput. While scaling of CMOS technology offers the potential for improvement of sampling rate, the accompanying reduction in supply voltage creates both fundamental and practical limitations on achievable resolution and speed, particularly when low power consumption is required. Much of the recent work in pipelined ADCs has been aimed at alleviating or overcoming these challenges.
