Abstract
Various systems and methods for converting a signal from the analog domain to the digital domain are disclosed herein. As one example, an analog-to-digital converter is disclosed that includes two pipelined analog-to-digital converter stages. The first analog-to-digital converter stage provides an encoded word output and the second analog-to-digital converter stage provides an unencoded word output. A summation device is provided to aggregate the encoded word output with the unencoded word output.
