    Abstract: A circuit may include a comparator having a first input, a second input, and an output. The circuit further may further include a successive approximation register (SAR) circuit coupled to the output of the comparator, the first input, and the second input. The SAR circuit may be configured to program one or more capacitors to selectively bias the first input to provide a single-ended measurement of a voltage at the second input.

    Abstract: An incremental analog to digital converter for digitizing an analog voltage including an Mth order delta sigma modulator, an Mth order digital decimation filter, a controller, and a digital combiner. The controller operates the modulator to convert the analog voltage into multiple digital samples, and operates the digital decimation filter to convert the digital samples into a preliminary digital output value. The controller further operates the delta sigma modulator during a residue phase for M clock cycles in which the modulator provides a digital residue value. The digital combiner combines the preliminary digital output value with the digital residue value to provide an initial digital output value. For an Mth order system, only M additional cycles are needed to extract the residual value to increase the resolution of the digital output by an amount based on the resolution of a modulator quantizer.

    Abstract: A method includes receiving a differential voltage signal at first and second inputs of a comparator and selectively providing the differential voltage signal to one of a first conversion path and a second conversion path of the comparator during a conversion phase to determine a digital value corresponding to the differential voltage signal. The first and second conversion paths including first and second pluralities of gain stages, respectively. The method further includes coupling the selected one of the first conversion path and the second conversion path to an output to provide the digital value.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) includes a plurality of pads adapted to communicate signals with a circuit external to the IC, and a first mixed signal interface block coupled to a first pad in the plurality of pads, where the first mixed signal interface block is adapted to receive a first trigger signal from the circuit external to the IC and to provide a second trigger signal. The IC further includes a second mixed signal interface block coupled to a second pad in the plurality of pads, where the second mixed signal interface block is adapted to receive and track a first input signal from the circuit external to the IC in a first mode of operation of the IC. The second mixed signal interface block is further adapted to generate, in response to the second trigger signal, a first output signal based on the first input signal and to provide the first output signal to a digital core of the IC in a second mode of operation of the IC, where the power consumption of the IC is lower in the first mode of operation than in the second mode of operation.
