Abstract

A method for predictive level-crossing, LC, in an analog-to-digital converter, ADC, is provided. The method comprises the steps of comparing a first input signal sampled during a first sampling period with one of an upper threshold level and a lower threshold level to determine if a level crossing has occurred during said first sampling period. Which one of said two threshold levels that is compared with said first input signal is based on if a level crossing occurred during a prior sampling period directly prior to the first sampling period, and which one of the two threshold levels was compared to a prior input signal sampled during said prior sampling period.
