Abstract
Embodiments of the disclosure may generally relate to an analog to digital converter. An example analog to digital converter may include a unit capacitor array, a comparator and a control block. The unit capacitor array may include multiple capacitors coupled to one another via multiple switches under control of the control block. The comparator, having a first input and a second input, may be configured to receive a controlled voltage generated from the unit capacitor array and compare an analog voltage to the controlled voltage. The control block may be configured to selectively open or close the switches, receive a comparison result from the comparator, and generate a digital output based on the comparison result. The control block may be configured to control the switch timing of the unit capacitor array for reset, pre-charge, charge redistribution, and comparison phases, where a passive charge redistribution method may be utilized.
