Aspects of the preset disclosure are directed to processing an analog signal transmitted during active portions of a duty cycle. As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, an apparatus includes a high-speed sampling circuit that samples portions of such an analog signal at a first rate corresponding to the active portion of the duty cycle, and stores the sampled portions of the analog signal. A low-speed analog-to-digital converter accesses the stored sampled portions and converts the sampled portions to a digital form at a second rate that is slower than the first rate.

An analog to digital converter includes an array (101) of differential input amplifiers (301A, 301B). Each amplifier inputs an input voltage and a corresponding voltage reference, and outputs a differential signal representing a comparison of the input voltage and the corresponding voltage reference. A plurality of latches stores the differential signal from each of the differential input amplifiers. A decoder converts the stored differential signals to N-bit digital output. A first interface amplifier is connected to a first edge amplifier of the array through a first cross point. A second interface amplifier is connected to a second edge amplifier of the array through a second cross point. The first interface amplifier and the second interface amplifier are connected to each other through a third cross point.
