We present the generalized form of multiplying D/A converter (MDAC) stages in pipelined A/D converters allowing to realize non-integer and integer-valued MDAC gains that are not necessarily in the form of 2 R . This allows better distribution of overall gain among MDAC stages compared to the convent...
