Abstract
A hybrid analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes a plurality of analog-to-digital conversion circuits and a combining circuit. The analog-to-digital conversion circuits generate a plurality of partial digital outputs for a same analog input, respectively, wherein the analog-to-digital conversion circuits include a digital slope ADC used to perform signal quantization in a time domain. The combining circuit combines the partial digital outputs generated from the analog-to-digital conversion circuits to generate a final digital output of the analog input.
