Hi, I've got another question.

I haven't been able to find a good discussion of how to decide how much of the settling time to allow for slewing in a pipelined ADC MDAC.  The obvious impact of slewing is that it allows less time for linear settling.  Is there more to it that that, though?  Assume I have an op amp that can settle much faster than I need for the sampling rate.  Then, can I lower the slew rate to save power, since even though there is less time for linear settling it can still handle it?

Will something go wrong if I use have the settling time for slewing?  Or 10%? or what?  It seems to me if your settling time is fast enough you should be able to slew up a storm.
