Abstract: Analogue-to-digital converter, ADC, circuitry including: successive-approximation circuitry configured in a subconversion operation to draw a charge from a first voltage reference, REF1; compensation circuitry including a compensation capacitor and configured, in a precharge operation, to connect the compensation capacitor so that the compensation capacitor stores a compensation charge, and, in the subconversion operation, to connect the compensation capacitor to the first voltage reference so that a charge is injected into the first voltage reference, REF1; and control circuitry, wherein: the successive-approximation circuitry and the compensation circuitry are configured such that one or more parameters defining at least one of said charges are controllable; and the control circuitry is configured to adjust at least one said parameter to adjust an extent to which the charge injected into the first voltage reference, REF1, by the compensation circuitry compensates for the charge drawn from the first voltage reference, REF1, by the successive-approximation circuitry.
