A control circuit of a pipeline analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is provided. The pipeline ADC includes a multiplying digital-to-analog converter (MDAC) which includes a capacitor. The control circuit includes six switches and two buffer circuits. The first and second switches are respectively coupled between one end of the capacitor and the first and second reference voltages. The output terminals of the first and second buffer circuits are respectively coupled to the first and second switches. The input terminal of the first buffer circuit is coupled to the third reference voltage through the third switch, or receives a control signal through the fifth switch. The input terminal of the second buffer circuit is coupled to the fourth reference voltage through the fourth switch, or receives the control signal through the sixth switch. The first and second reference voltages are different, and the first and second switches are not turned on simultaneously.
