Abstract :
A novel scheme for generating multiple reference voltages for pipeline A/D conversion is proposed. The basic idea is to develop the required reference voltages by summing the voltages from two reference voltage banks. This scheme has potential for high-speed conversion. Further, the architecture of the resistor network which forms the two voltage banks, offers a wide trade-off in power dissipation and speed while requiring a small chip area.
