The conceptual block diagram of the algorithmic A/D converter
*The speed is limited by the settling time of OP AMPs used to implement the multiplier.
*For audio ADC applications, it could reach low-power low-voltage operation.
*Major error sources: (1) Capacitor ratio mismatches if SC circuits are used.
(2)Finite-gain error of OP amps.
(3)Offset voltage of OP amps.
(4)Capacitor feedthrough error by switches if SC circuits are used.
