Abstract
An illustrative input stage for an analog-to-digital converter circuit is described herein. The input stage may include a first transistor of a first conductivity type connected between a first node and a second node; a second transistor of a second conductivity type connected between the first node and a third node; and a set of switches. The set of switches may be configured, when manipulated by a controller, to connect the first node to either an input node or a first output node, the second node to either a first reference node or a second output node, and the third node to either a second reference node or the second output node. Corresponding analog-to-digital conversion circuits and procedures making use of this input stage, as well as corresponding systems, circuitry, and methods, are also disclosed.
