Abstract
A device includes a SAR, a comparator, a DAC and a multichannel passive S/H component. The multichannel passive S/H component is able to sample and hold a plurality of analog voltages in parallel. The multichannel passive S/H component is further able to serially feed the plurality of sampled and held analog voltages to the SAR, comparator and DAC, such that each analog voltage is serially converted to a digital representation.
