Abstract
Analog to digital conversion begins by terminating the acquisition phase of the analog input signal and immediately starting the successive approximation conversion phase upon receipt of a start conversion command. Upon the completion of the successive approximation conversion phase and latching the result, the array is rest if required. The comparator offset is sampled-and-held, if required, and the acquisition phase is initiated and continues until the receipt or occurrence of the next start conversion command.
