Abstract:
Analogue-to-digital converter, ADC, circuitry, including: an analogue input terminal; a comparator having first and second comparator-input terminals; and successive-approximation control circuitry to apply a potential difference across the first and second comparator-input terminals based on an input voltage signal, and to control the potential difference for a series of successive approximation operations to cause the comparator to test in each successive approximation operation whether a magnitude of an analogue input voltage signal is larger or smaller than a corresponding test value, the test value for each successive approximation operation being, dependent on a comparison result generated by the comparator in the preceding approximation operation, bigger or smaller than the test value for the preceding approximation operation by a difference amount configured for that successive approximation operation.
