Problems solved by technology

However, there are still problems in the design of the traditional pipelined successive approximation analog-to-digital converter: 1. The design of the sub-stage analog-to-digital converter of the traditional pipelined successive approximation analog-to-digital converter adopts the successive approximation converter with capacitive-resistive structure

In this way, the power consumption of the circuit cannot be effectively reduced, and it is difficult for the 128-fold amplifier to achieve high output accuracy
