An interleaved ADC can advantageously provide synchronous sampling and
time-multiplexed output. Differential I and Q input signals can first be
stored by charging a plurality of capacitors. These stored differential
signals can be buffered in a time-multiplexed sequence. For example,
buffering can include transferring voltages stored by a first set of
capacitors at a first time and then transferring voltages stored by a
second set of capacitors at a second time. Advantageously, this
time-multiplexing allow the ADC to be significantly smaller than
conventional implementations of two-input ADCs. A folded mixer with gain
control is also provided. This mixer can include a first stage having a
first set of inductors and a plurality of first type transistors and a
second stage having a second set of inductors and a plurality of second
type transistors. The plurality of second type transistors in the second
stage, which are in a folded configuration, can be driven by the first
set of inductors in the first stage. The outputs of the mixer are
positioned between the plurality of second type transistors and the
second set of inductors. This configuration advantageously permits the
mixer to use a low operating voltage.
