This paper describes a 40-Msample/s 10-bit CMOS folding and interpolating analog-to-digital converter (ADC). A new 2-step architecture is proposed. The proposed architecture is composed of a coarse ADC bloch for the 6bits of MSBs and a fine ADC block for the remaining 4bits. The amplified folding analog signals in the coarse ADC are selectively chosen for the fine ADC. In the fine ADC, the bubble errors of the comparators are corrected by using the BGM(binary-gray-mixed) code[1] and extra two comparators are used to correct underflow and overflow errors. The proposed ADC was simulated using CMOS 0.25${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ parameters and occupies 1.0mm$\times$1.0mm. The power consumption is 48㎽ at 40MS/s with 2.5-V power supply. The INL is under $\pm$2.0LSB and the DNL. is under $\pm$1.0LSB by Matlab simulations.
