Techniques for performing analog-to-digital conversion are described. For example, a method performs an analog-to-digital conversion of an analog input to a digital output including a set of bits, the set of bits including a most significant bit and one or more additional bits, the analog-to-digital conversion starting at a given one of the one or more additional bits following the most significant bit.

Analog-to-digital conversion with bit skipping functionality

An apparatus comprises at least one processor and at least one memory including instruction code configured to, with the at least one processor, cause the apparatus at least to perform a successive approximation analog-to-digital conversion of an analog input, representing a result of multiplication of first and second vectors, to a digital output by determining an upper bound on the result of multiplication of the first and second vectors, identifying, based at least in part on the determined upper bound, at least a portion of the successive approximation analog-to-digital conversion to be skipped, and skipping the identified portion of the successive approximation analog-to-digital conversion.
