Abstract
Metastable compensation circuitry for detecting and compensating for metastable states of a regenerative latch in a charge redistribution analog to digital converter First and second latches each having a selected threshold voltage for monitor corresponding first and second outputs of regenerative latch Detection logic detects a selected output state of the first and second latches corresponding to a metastable state of regenerative latch Suppression logic generates an output of a selected logic level in response to the detection of a metastable state by detection logic
