ADC Values
Resolution N: number of discrete values to represent
the analog values (in Bit)
8 Bit = 28 = 256 quantization level,
10 Bit = 210 = 1024 quantization level

Pipelined ADCs
Extension of two-level architecture to multiple stages
(up-to 1 Bit per stage)
Each stage is connected with CLK-signal
Pipelined conversion of subsequent input signals
First result after m CLK cycles (m - amount of
stages)
Stages can be different

Performance Limitations
Analog circuit performance limited by:
High-frequency behavior of applied
components
Noise
Crosstalk (analog analog, analog digital)
Power supply coupling
Thermal noise (white noise)
