Abstract
Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide analog to digital conversion of time-discrete analog inputs. A redundant split-capacitor arrangement using a successive approximation technique can provide a fast and power efficient ADC. For example, a successive approximation capacitor arrangement may include multiple arrays with non-binary bit weights.
