The invention relates to an analog-to-digital converter (301), comprising several comparators (303) and a reference network, said reference network having several reference elements (302). At least one input (304) of at least one comparator (303) is connected between the individual reference elements (302) of the reference network in the analog-to-digital converter (301), respectively. A digital evaluation circuit (311) with which the statistical evaluation of the output signals generated by the comparators (303) can be carried out is linked to the outputs (309) of the comparators of the analog-to-digital converter (301). The invention also relates to a corresponding method for converting an analog signal (Ua) into a digital signal (D).
