Abstract
An analog-to-digital converter includes a ring oscillator having an input for receiving an analog signal, a coarse Gray code counter having a first input coupled to a first output of the ring oscillator and a second input for receiving a clock signal, a fine counter having first inputs coupled to secondary outputs of the ring oscillator and a second input for receiving the clock signal, a first difference generator having an input coupled to the output of the coarse counter, a second difference generator having an input coupled to the output of the fine counter, and an adder having a first input coupled to the output of the first difference generator, a second input coupled to the output of the second difference generator, and an output for providing a digital signal corresponding to the analog signal.
