Abstract:
A differential successive approximation analog to digital converter including: a comparator; a first plurality of capacitors coupled between a corresponding plurality of first switches and a first input of the comparator, at least one of the first capacitors being arranged to receive a first component of a differential input signal; and a second plurality of capacitors coupled between a corresponding plurality of second switches and a second input of the comparator, at least one of the second capacitors being arranged to receive a second component of the differential input signal, wherein each of the first and second plurality of switches are each adapted to independently couple the corresponding capacitor to a selected one of: a first supply voltage level; a second supply voltage level; and a third supply voltage level; and control circuitry adapted to sample the differential input voltage during a sample phase, and to control the first and second switches to couple each capacitor of the first and second plurality of capacitors to the third supply voltage level at the start of a voltage conversion phase.
