An analog digital converter with switched-capacitor reset architecture.
The analog to digital converter (ADC) includes a plurality of pipelined
stages, each stage including an analog to digital converter comprising a
pair of comparators outputting signals to a multiplying digital to analog
converter (MDAC). The MDAC includes an opamp and a reset circuit
connected to inputs of the opamp, the reset circuit including first and
second capacitors and switching circuitry for precharging each of the
first and second capacitors to a difference between the input and output
common-mode voltages of the opamp, and during a reset phase of the MDAC,
connecting the first capacitor between a positive input and a negative
output of the opamp and connecting the second capacitor between a
negative input and a positive output of the opamp to reset the opamp.
