A SUCCESSIVE APPROXIMATION ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION ARCHITECTURAL ARRANGMENT FOR RECEIVERS

摘要

An apparatus and method of successive approximation analog-to-digital conversion for receivers comprising that during a sample mode, connecting an array of capacitors to a plurality of sampling switches coupled to a plurality of amplified input signals, and during a conversion mode, connecting in common the array of capacitors to a comparator and isolating the array of capacitors from the plurality of sampling switches. Additionally, filtering is done by the summation of samples at phase offsets.
