A data conversion stage circuit (104) for an opamp-shared pipeline
analog-to-digital converter (ADC) (100) includes an over-range detection
and recovery circuit including first and second switches (S3, S4)
connected between respective input terminals (136, 137) and output
terminals (138, 139) of the opamp (128) and both controlled by a first
control signal, and a logic circuit (150) coupled to receive the first
residue value and compare the first residue value to a pair of high and
low comparison voltage levels. The logic circuit asserts the first
control signal during a first clock phase when the first residue value is
either greater than the high comparison voltage level or less than the
low comparison voltage level. The high and low comparison voltage levels
define a voltage region outside of a reference voltage range of the data
conversion stage circuit where the reference voltage range defines
in-range voltage values for the data conversion stage circuit.
