Abstract
An analog-to-digital converter generates and adjusts a digital signal based on a delay caused by an analog signal. The analog signal controls a delay of a first delay chain, and the digital signal controls a delay of a second delay chain. Dependent on a comparison of an output of the first delay chain and an output of the second delay chain, circuitry of the analog-to-digital converter adjusts the digital signal.
