Abstract
A successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes a ring oscillator configured to determine a frequency based on a sampling clock signal and a first control code, and generate an output clock signal having the determined frequency. The SAR ADC further includes a controller configured to generate the first control code based on a count value indicating a number of times of toggling the output clock signal.
