    Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter includes a sampling capacitor connected to a multiplexer output, discharge circuitry discharging the sampling capacitor during a first period beginning at a start of a sampling cycle, and level shifting circuitry charging the sampling capacitor to a voltage at a first analog input node modified by a mismatch voltage resulting from mismatch in threshold voltages between a first transistor connected to the first analog input node and a second transistor connected to the output node, during a second period beginning at expiration of the first period. A first switch connects the first analog input node to the output node to charge the sampling capacitor to the voltage at the first analog input node, at expiration of the second period, and disconnects the first analog input node from the output node at an end of the sampling cycle of the analog-to-digital converter.
