pipelined sar adc

A pipelined SAR ADC is a type of Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) that uses a pipeline architecture to achieve high-speed and high-resolution conversion of analog signals to digital signals.

In a pipelined SAR ADC, the conversion process is split into stages, with each stage performing a portion of the analog-to-digital conversion. The first stage samples the input signal and produces a coarse digital output. The subsequent stages perform successive approximations to refine the digital output and improve the resolution.

The pipelined SAR ADC is known for its high-speed conversion rates, typically in the range of hundreds of megahertz to several gigahertz. It is commonly used in applications that require high-speed and high-resolution analog-to-digital conversion, such as in wireless communication systems, radar systems, and high-speed data acquisition systems.
