A pipelined analog to digital converter includes a first stage that
receives an input voltage, that generates a first sampled digital value
and a first residue voltage, and that includes a first amplifier that
amplifies the first residue voltage and generates a first amplified
residue voltage. A second stage receives the first amplified residue
voltage, generates a second sampled digital value and a second residue
voltage, and includes a second amplifier that amplifies the second
residue voltage. At least one of the first amplifier and the second
amplifier comprises a first transistor having a control terminal, a first
terminal, and a second terminal, a second transistor having a control
terminal, a first terminal, and a second terminal that communicates with
the second terminal of the first transistor, a differential
transimpedance amplifier and a differential output amplifier.
