Abstract: An apparatus and a method. The apparatus includes a counter array; a ring oscillator that is electrically coupled to the counter array, where the counter array counts a number of cycles in the ring oscillator; an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) driver that is electrically coupled to the ring oscillator; and an ADC that is electrically coupled to the ADC driver, where an output of the ADC is electrically coupled to the ring oscillator.

Abstract: An apparatus and a method are provided. The apparatus includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) driver; and an ADC that is electrically coupled to the ADC driver. The method includes setting, by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) driver, a desired common-mode control value based on the held voltage; and setting, by the ADC driver, a desired gain control value based on the held voltage.
