Abstract
An ADC circuit includes a comparator with a first input for receiving an analog signal and with a second input for receiving a ramp signal, a first output of the comparator, a second output of the comparator, a first counter connected to the first output, a second counter connected to the second output, a first clock connected to the first counter, and a second clock connected to the second counter. The first clock provides a first clock signal to the first counter, the second clock provides a second clock signal to the second counter, the first counter is configured to count with the frequency of the first clock signal, the second counter is configured to count with the frequency of the second clock signal. The frequency of the first clock signal is lower than the frequency of the second clock signal.
