Abstract: A circuit includes first and second gain stages and an output transistor. The second gain stage includes a transconductance amplifier and a variable impedance circuit coupled to an output of the transconductance amplifier. The variable impedance circuit is configured to implement a first impedance level at frequencies below a first frequency threshold and to implement a second impedance level at frequencies above a second frequency level. The first impedance level is larger than the second impedance level. The output transistor has a control input coupled to the variable impedance circuit. At frequencies above the second frequency threshold, the second impedance level is configured to be inversely related to current through the output transistor.

Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit includes a signal input terminal, a sample-and-hold circuit, and a successive approximation register (SAR) ADC. The sample-and-hold circuit includes an input terminal coupled to the signal input terminal. The SAR ADC includes a comparator, a first capacitive digital-to-analog converter (CDAC), and a second CDAC. The first CDAC includes a first input terminal coupled to the signal input terminal, a second input terminal coupled to an output terminal of the sample-and-hold circuit, and an output terminal coupled to a first input terminal of the comparator. The second CDAC includes a first input terminal coupled to the signal input terminal, an output terminal coupled to a second input terminal of the comparator.

Abstract: A comparator circuit includes a first transistor configured to receive a first input and a second transistor configured to receive a second input. The comparator circuit further includes a third transistor coupled to a terminal of each of the first and second transistors. The third transistor is configured to be controlled by a first control signal. A gate of a fifth transistor is coupled to a terminal of a fourth transistor at a first node and a gate of the fourth transistor is coupled to a terminal of the fifth transistor at a second node. A sixth transistor is coupled between the first and fourth transistors. A seventh transistor is coupled between the second and fifth transistors. A gate of the sixth transistor and a gate of the seventh transistor are coupled together at a fixed voltage level.
