Abstract
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit includes a signal input terminal, a sample-and-hold circuit, and a successive approximation register (SAR) ADC. The sample-and-hold circuit includes an input terminal coupled to the signal input terminal. The SAR ADC includes a comparator, a first capacitive digital-to-analog converter (CDAC), and a second CDAC. The first CDAC includes a first input terminal coupled to the signal input terminal, a second input terminal coupled to an output terminal of the sample-and-hold circuit, and an output terminal coupled to a first input terminal of the comparator. The second CDAC includes a first input terminal coupled to the signal input terminal, an output terminal coupled to a second input terminal of the comparator.
