High resolution pipelined Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADCs) exceeding 10-bits are thermal noise limited. Typically for low-power switched capacitor (SC) circuits, the thermal noise of the op amp is the dominant source of noise as compared to the switches. This paper proposes a thermal noise cancel...
