    Abstract: A low power operational transconductance amplifier is disclosed. In an exemplary embodiment, an apparatus includes a transconductance stage (402) configured to convert a first input voltage signal (Vil) to first and second current signals and to convert a second input voltage signal (Vi2) to third and fourth current signals. The apparatus also includes a current amplification stage (404) configured to amplify the second current signal to generate a first amplified current signal and to amplify the fourth current signal to generate a second amplified current signal. The apparatus also includes a current summation stage (406) configured to sum together the third current signal and the first amplified current signal to generate a first output voltage signal (Vol), and to sum together the first current signal and the second amplified current signal to generate a second output voltage signal (Vo2).

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a delta-sigma modulator (DSM) using time-interleaved (TI) successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). For example, two SAR ADCs may be configured to alternately sample and process an input signal and provide a feedback signal for the DSM using excess loop delay (ELD). In other aspects, the DSM may be implemented using a two-step SAR quantizer. For example, a first SAR ADC may sample an input signal to generate a most-significant bit (MSB) portion of an output of the DSM, while the second SAR ADC may subsequently sample a residue from the first SAR ADC conversion and generate a least-significant bit (LSB) portion of the output of the DSM. With these techniques, higher bandwidths may be obtained in high accuracy delta-sigma ADCs without using increased sampling rates.

    Abstract: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a segmented successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). One example ADC generally includes a plurality of SAR ADC circuits each associated with a different voltage range segment of a voltage range for the ADC. Each SAR ADC circuit is configured to receive an analog signal input to the ADC and to output a digital signal based on the analog signal, the digital signal being representative of a voltage level of the analog signal when the voltage level of the analog signal is within the segment associated with the SAR ADC circuit. In certain aspects, the SAR ADC may include logic configured to control a digital output of the ADC based on one or more of the digital signals representative of the voltage level of the analog signal output by one or more of the plurality of SAR ADC circuits.

    Abstract: Techniques and apparatus for output common-mode control of dynamic amplifiers, as well as analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and other circuits implemented with such dynamic amplifiers. One example amplifier circuit includes a dynamic amplifier and a current source. The dynamic amplifier generally includes differential inputs, differential outputs, transconductance elements coupled to the differential inputs, a first set of capacitive elements coupled to the differential outputs, and a control input for controlling a time length of amplification for the dynamic amplifier. The current source is configured to generate an output current such that portions of the output current are selectively applied to the differential outputs of the dynamic amplifier during at least a portion of the time length of amplification.
