Abstract
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and method of operation thereof are provided for converting an analog signal to a digital signal. The ADC utilizes Correlated Electron Material (CEM) devices that may contain a transition metal oxide (TMO), such as Nickel Oxide (NiO). The ADC may include an interconnect circuit that is operable to couple a power supply to the CEM devices. The power supply is controlled to program the resistance of the CEM devices and thereby control performance characteristics of the ADC.
