Abstract
A stage, suitable for use in an analog to digital converter or a digital to analog converter, can have a plurality of slices that can be operated together to form a composite output. The stage can have reduced thermal noise, while each slice on its own has sufficiently small capacitance to respond quickly to changes in digital codes applied to the slice. This feature allows a fast conversion to be achieved without loss of noise performance.
