This paper surveys and analyzes state-of-the-art pipeline A/D Converter reported in IEEE from 1987 to June 2011, including performance comparison of these converters on the ground of Resolution, Sampling Rate, Power, Spurious Free Dynamic Range (SFDR), and Signal to Noise plus Distortion Ratio (SNDR)/ Signal to Noise and Distortion Ratio (SINAD). Technological and architectural progress brings low power, low voltage high sampling rate pipeline A/D converter though the resolution being constant over the period. We found that power consumption of pipeline A/D converter decreased 1.62mW/month, sampling frequency increased 360 KHz/month, improvement of SFDR is approximately stagnant, and SNDR decreased 0.127dB/month over the time.
