Abstract
Disclosed herein are some examples of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) that can perform auto-zeroing with amplifying a signal for improvement of a signal-to-noise ratio. The ADCs may produce a first digital code to represent an analog input signal and a second digital code based on a residue from the first digital code, and may combine the first digital code and the second digital code to produce a digital output code to represent the analog input signal. The ADC may utilize a first observation and a second observation of an analog residue value representing the residue to produce the second digital code.
