Re: pipeline questions
Yes, with most pipeline or flash ADC, the clock is equal to sampling rate. Recommended and required input signal is documented in datasheet. Generally, true differential input signal is recommended for highest performance, but single ended drive (biasing the other input at mid voltage) is also possible with most differential input ADC. Differential input signal can be provided by a fully differential amplifier, e. g. Analog AD813x, TI THS45xx or a transformer for RF signals.
