    Abstract: In one or more embodiments, an apparatus and method for processing an analog signal into a digital signal includes a quantizer that converts the analog signal, which can have any value within a given range of values, into a fixed set of discrete values. An analog residue, i.e. the quantization error caused by the difference between the analog value of the integrated analog signal and the closest corresponding discrete quantized value, is outputted. The analog residue can be further processed to increase the accuracy of the A/D conversion. Multiple quantizer stages can be provided to perform A/D conversion of the analog signal over multiple integration periods, e.g. in multi-shot and time-delay integration applications. The analog signal may represent an image signal.

    Abstract: A successive approximation ADC having a D/A converter (15), a comparator (10) which compares an input voltage to the output of the D/A converter (15), and a successive approximation cell (30) which iteratively feeds binary values to the D/A converter (15) and together with the comparator (10) determines a binary value for the input voltage. The successive approximation ADC is operated to function as a threshold detector by pausing operation of the successive approximation cell (30) and by inputting (36) a binary threshold value to the D/A converter (15) so that the comparator (10) compares the input voltage to the threshold voltage. Thus, a threshold detector is implemented using the existing circuitry, namely the D/A converter (15) and the comparator (10). Embodiments of an improved successive approximation ADC are disclosed which includes a control device and bi-directional data lines (36) implemented in the successive approximation cell (30). An electronic system is also disclosed employing the improved successive approximation ADC to monitor a device voltage relative to a threshold value for the device voltage.
