Abstract

A channel selection circuit, an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a system-on-chip (SoC) are provided. During a sampling phase of an ADC circuit, a substrate voltage of a MOS switch in a selected channel is set to a voltage of analog input signal to which the channel is coupled. This eliminates the body-bias effect of the MOS switch, greatly improving linearity of the channel selection circuit and enabling the ADC to provide the required high speed and high-accuracy and exhibit excellent performance even at a low power supply voltage. Moreover, harmonic distortion around the dominant frequency can be suppressed, enabling the ADC to provide the required high accuracy (e.g., a 16-bit or even higher resolution).
