This application describes method and apparatus for data conversion. An analogue-to-digital converter circuit receives an analogue input signal (SIN) and outputs a digital output signal (SOUT) The circuit has a sampling capacitor, a controlled oscillator and a counter for generating a count value based on a number of oscillations in an output of the controlled oscillator in a count period during a read-out phase. The digital output signal is based on the count value. The converter circuit is operable in a sampling phase and the read-out phase. In the sampling phase, the sampling capacitor is coupled to an input node for the input signal, e.g. via switch. In the read-out phase, the sampling capacitor is coupled to the controlled oscillator, e.g. via switch, such that capacitor powers the first controlled oscillator and a frequency of oscillation in the output of the first controlled oscillator depends on the voltage of the first capacitor.
