    Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter, ADC, is provided. The ADC comprises a comparator having a first input and a second input. The ADC further comprises a first digital-to-analog converter, DAC, and a second DAC configured to receive a first and a second digital reference signal, respectively. The digital reference signals (Dref) represent a signed binary value. The ADC is configured to compare input voltages (Vin), based on a first sampled input signal of a differential input signal and the first digital reference signal, and based on a second sampled input signal of the differential input signal and the second digital reference signal and, based on said comparison, adjust the reference voltage so as to approximate the differential input signal.

    Abstract: Example embodiments relate to methods and systems for processing analog signals. One example method for processing an analog signal includes modulating the analog signal using a chopping signal with a chopping frequency fchop to generate a modulated signal. The method also includes amplifying the modulated signal to generate an amplified signal. Additionally, the method includes low-pass filtering the amplified signal to generate a filtered signal that includes at least one harmonic of the modulated signal. Further, the method includes sub-sampling the filtered signal and performing a correlated double sampling operation by subtracting samples at the chopping frequency.
