Abstract: An N-bit analog to digital converter includes a reference ladder, a track-and-hold amplifier connected to an input voltage, a coarse ADC amplifier connected to a coarse capacitor at its input and having a coarse ADC reset switch controlled by a first clock phase of a two-phase clock, a fine ADC amplifier connected to a fine capacitor at its input and having a fine ADC reset switch controlled by a second clock phase of the two-phase clock, a switch matrix that selects a voltage subrange from the reference ladder for use by the fine ADC amplifier based on an output of the coarse ADC amplifier, and wherein the coarse capacitor is charged to a coarse reference ladder voltage during the first clock phase and connected to the T/H output during the second clock phase, wherein the fine capacitor is connected to a voltage subrange during the first clock phase and to the T/H output during the second clock phase, and an encoder that converts outputs of the coarse and fine ADC amplifiers to an N-bit output.

Abstract: Provided is a circuit to perform single-ended to differential conversion while providing common-mode voltage control. The circuit includes a converter to convert a single-ended signal to a differential signal and a stabilizing circuit adapted to receive the differential signal. The stabilizing circuit includes a sensor configured to sense a common-mode voltage level of the differential signal and a comparator having an output port coupled to the converter. The comparator is configured to compare the differential signal common-mode voltage level with a reference signal common-mode voltage level and produce an adjusting signal based upon the comparison. The adjusting signal is applied to the converter via the output port and is operative to adjust a subsequent common-mode voltage level of the differential signal.
