A new architecture is provided in which a master A/D converter of limited precision controls the adjustment-charge steering of a set of similar slave A/D converter pipelines. This architecture relieves the layout constraints imposed by prior architectures and also reduces power consumption of the device. By spatially interleaving the slave pipelines in an array, the new architecture also improves accuracy.
