This paper describes a low-power piecewise linear A/D converter. A 5MHz {at} 5V with 25mW power consumption prototype has been implemented in a 1.5{micro}m CMOS process. The die area excluding pads is 5mm{sup 2}. 11-bit absolute accuracy is obtained with a new DC offset plus charge injection compensation technique used in the comparators scheme. This ADC with large dynamic range and high resolution is developed for the readout of a tracker and/or preshower in the future LHC experiments.
