Abstract

A multiple-input analog-to-digital converter device includes analog-to-digital converter circuits arranged between input nodes and output nodes. The analog-to-digital converter circuits operate over respective conversion times to provide simultaneous conversion of the analog input signals into respective conversion time signals. A time-to-digital converter circuit includes timer circuitry common to the plurality of analog-to-digital converter circuits. The timer circuitry cooperates with the analog-to-digital converter circuits to convert the conversion time signals into digital output signals at the output nodes.
