Abstract:
A stage, suitable for use in an analog to digital converter or a digital to analog converter, can have a plurality of slices that can be operated together to form a composite output. The stage can have reduced thermal noise, while each slice on its own has sufficiently small capacitance to respond quickly to changes in digital codes applied to the slice. This feature allows a fast conversion to be achieved without loss of noise performance.

Claim (Index 23):
An apparatus to form an analog to digital converter result and a residue, the apparatus comprising:\n first sampling slice for sampling an analog input; two or more second sampling slices for sampling the analog input, wherein the first sampling slice and the two or more second sampling slices have a substantially same physical foot print on a substrate; means for operating the first sampling slice to form a digital representation of the input; controller means to drive the two or more second sampling slices based on the digital representation of the input to form an analog equivalent of the digital representation of the input; and means for forming a difference between the input and the analog equivalent of the digital representation of the input.
