TOP PLATE SAMPLING ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER (ADC) WITH RESIDUE AMPLIFIER NON-LINEARITY REDUCTION

A top-plate sampling analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit includes a first ADC stage and a residue amplifier coupled to the first ADC stage. The residue amplifier comprises a first transistor with a control terminal, a first current terminal, and a second current terminal. The residue amplifier also comprises a second transistor with a control terminal, a first current terminal, and a second current terminal. The residue amplifier also comprises a linearity adjustment circuit coupled to a second current terminal of at least one of the first transistor and the second transistor. The linearity adjustment circuit comprises at least one switch that changes its state as a function of an input sampling phase and a gain phase of the residue amplifier.
