Abstract
An analog-to-digital conversion circuit () is disclosed. It comprises a switched-capacitor SAR-ADC, () arranged to receive an analog input signal (x(t)) and a clock signal, to sample the analog input signal (x(t)), and to generate a sequence (W(n)) of digital output words corresponding to samples of the analog input signal (x(t)), wherein the SAR-ADC () is arranged to generate a bit of the digital output word per cycle of the clock signal. It further comprises a clock-signal generator () arranged to supply the clock signal to the SAR-ADC (), and a post-processing unit () adapted to receive the sequence (W(n)) of digital output words and generate a sequence of digital output numbers (y(n)), corresponding to the digital output words, based on bit weights assigned to the bits of the digital output words. The bit weights are selected to compensate for a decay of a signal internally in the SAR-ADC ().
