Abstract:
An N-bit type charge redistribution analog-to-digital conversion device includes an input terminal configured to receive an input signal and coupled via a line to an output terminal. The output terminal is configured to be coupled to a comparator. The device further includes three reference potential sources of different values and a network of capacitors, where a first terminal of each capacitor is coupled to the line, and where a second terminal of each capacitor is coupled to switching circuit configured for coupling the second terminal of each capacitor to one of the reference potentials.
