Abstract
The front-end sample-hold amplifier of a CMOS analog-digital converter can be made subranging, resulting in decreased output swing, by combining it with a residue amplifier function and directly quantizing the input. A control-loop minimizes the sampling instant mismatch by adjusting the timing to the coarse quantizer´s clock input using the sign of the input signal´s first order derivative. The process operates completely in the background with no specialized input signal for calibration
