Abstract: Uniformly-sampled, residue-generating analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), such as uniformly-sampled continuous-time pipelined ADCs, suffer from over-ranging of the residue signal, which can lead to severe signal distortion. Conventionally, power consuming techniques and oversampling are used to address the over-ranging problem. To reduce the range of the residue signal and reduce other impairments, an event-driven sub-quantizer (sub-ADC) and a sub-digital-to-analog converter (sub-DAC) can be implemented in at least one of the stages of the residue-generating ADC, to generate a continuous-time residue signal.
