An programmable current-mode folding and interpolation analog to digital converter (ADC) with programmable interpolator is proposed in this paper. A programmable interpolator is employed not only to vary the resolution of data converter, but also to decrease a power dissipation within the ADC. Because of varying the number of interpolation circuits, resolution is vary from 6 to 10bit. The designed ADC fabricated by a 0.6${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ n-well CMOS double metal/single poly process. The experimental result shows the power dissipation from 26 to 87mW with a power supply of 3.3V.
