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 2R. This allows better distribution of overall gain among MDAC stages compared to the conventional implementations leading to lower power dissipation. A comprehensive model for estimating the implications...
