Because the threshold voltage of transistors does not scale with the technology, circuits used in the pipelined ADC in the past could not obtain the desired dynamic range in low voltage. Several solutions have been proposed to overcome the problem. In this thesis, a 1-V 10-bits 5Msamples/s pipelined ADC is designed using the fully differential opamp-reset-switching technique (ORST) to circumvent the speed problem of switched-opamp technique. A novel loading-free architecture is also employed to reduce the capacitive loading and to improve the speed in low-voltage technique. In addition, several approaches to overcome the low voltage issue are also described.
