opamp technique. The developed low-voltage circuit blocks are a multiplying analog-to-
digital converter (MADC), an improved common-mode feedback circuit for a switched
opamp, and a fully differential comparator. The input signal for the converter is brought in
using a novel passive interface circuit. The prototype chip, implemented in a 0.5-/spl mu/m
CMOS technology, has differential nonlinearity and integral nonlinearity of 0.6 and 0.9 LSB …
