Pipelined Interpolating A/D Converter is a kind of ADC based on the "Two-Step" architecture. By using the technique in terms of"Interpolating", the number of the comparators within the ADC is reduced, which is large in conventional Flash ADC. This way also diminishes the die area and the power dissipation of the chip. Meanwhile, to shorten the data access time, the "Pipeline" algorithm is adopted. In this dissertation, a 10-bit 20MS/s Pipelined Interpolating A/D Converter is designed under a low voltage of 3.3V. The ADC is fabricated in 0.5um CMOS technology. Also, a testing circuit is designed to evaluate the performance of the chip.
