Claim 18:
19. The method of claim 17 further comprising:
activating a first preamplifier, the ADC includes the first preamplifier and a second preamplifier, the first and second preamplifiers have successive threshold voltages;
processing M+L input codes through the first preamplifier, where M and L are integers;
storing M+L output codes corresponding to M+L input codes, the first preamplifier toggles at Mth input code;
inactivating the first preamplifier and activating the second preamplifier;
modifying the input code to M−L+1; and
storing output codes corresponding to each input code from (M−L+1)th input code processed through the second preamplifer.
