A system may include a first analog-to-digital converter (ADC) of a first type electrically coupled by a plurality of switches to a plurality of ADCs of a second type. The plurality of switches may be configured to select, based on a rate of an analog-to-digital conversion, a quantity of ADCs of the second type, from among the plurality of ADCs of the second type, to supply the analog-to-digital conversion at the rate. The plurality of switches may be configured to selectively bypass the first ADC according to a resolution of the analog-to-digital conversion. The plurality of switches may be configured to bypass the first ADC responsive to the resolution of the conversion being below a threshold.
