    • An analog input signal A1 is held by a sample-hold-amplifier (SHA) 12 to be outputted as a voltage V12. The V12 is converted into a digital signal of 1,5 bits by sub-A/D converters (SADC: comparators 13, 14, and an encoder 15), and the digital signal is further converted into an analog signal by sub-D/A converters (SDAC: switches 16a, 16b, 16c) to be delivered to an SHA 18. The SHA 18 amplifies a difference in voltage between the voltage V12 and the SDAC by a factor of two to thereby output a voltage VA, which is delivered to an analog-to-digital conversion stage 20. By so doing, the range of an input voltage of the respective SHAs is suppressed to ½ of that for the conventional case, thereby enabling high-speed operation to be executed without impairing linearity.

    • A pipelined analog-to-digital converter system (10) is responsive to an analog input signal (18). The system includes four pipeline stages (11-14), which each produce a respective digital output (26-29) that is coupled to a combining circuit (16). The combining circuit generates the digital output (41) of the system. Each pipeline stage includes an analog-to-digital converter (101), which generates the digital output for that stage. A shuffler circuit (103) randomly shuffles the bits of this digital output, in order to generate shuffled switching signals, which in turn are used to control electronic switches (206-209, 211-214) associated with several capacitors (C1-C4). By randomly shuffling the switching signals, the effects caused by variation of any capacitor from an ideal value are randomized. This avoids nonlinearity such as harmonic distortion in the analog output signal (21) from that stage.
