Abstract

An analog-to-digital converter, ADC, is provided. The ADC comprises a comparator having a first input and a second input. The ADC further comprises a first digital-to-analog converter, DAC, and a second DAC configured to receive a first and a second digital reference signal, respectively. The digital reference signals (D) represent a signed binary value. The ADC is configured to compare input voltages (V), based on a first sampled input signal of a differential input signal and the first digital reference signal, and based on a second sampled input signal of the differential input signal and the second digital reference signal and, based on said comparison, adjust the reference voltage so as to approximate the differential input signal.
