520    With the ever-increasing demand for portable devices used 
       in applications such as wireless communication, mobile 
       computing, consumer electronics, etc., the scaling of the 
       CMOS process to deep submicron dimensions becomes more 
       important to achieve low-cost, low-power and high-
       performance digital systems. However, this downscaling 
       also requires similar shrinking of the supply voltage to 
       insure device reliability. Even though the largest amount 
       of signal processing is done in the digital domain, the on
       -chip analog-to-digital interface circuitry (analog-to-
       digital and digital-to-analog converters) is an important 
       functional block in the system. These converters are also 
       required to operate with low-voltage supply. In this 
       thesis, design techniques for low-voltage and low-power 
       analog-to-digital converters are proposed. The specific 
       research contributions of this work include (1) 
       introduction of a new low-voltage switching technique for 
       switched capacitor circuit design, (2) development of low-
       voltage and low-distortion delta-sigma modulator, (3) 
       development of low-voltage switched-capacitor multiplying 
       digital-to-analog converter (MDAC), (4) a new architecture
       for the low-power Nyquist rate pipelined ADC design. These
       design techniques enable the implementation of low-voltage
       and low-power CMOS analog-to-digital converters. To 
       demonstrate the proposed design techniques, a 0.6 V, 82 dB,
       2-2 cascaded audio delta-sigma ADC, a 0.9 V, 10-bit, 20MS/
       s CMOS pipelined ADC and a 2.4 V, 12-bit, 10MS/s CMOS 
       pipelined ADC were implemented in standard CMOS processes
