Abstract
Various aspects facilitate error reduction for an analog to digital converter (e.g., due to metastability). A digital to analog converter generates a scaled reference voltage based on a reference voltage. A comparator component performs a comparison between an input voltage and the scaled reference voltage based on a defined period of time to perform the comparison.
