Abstract:
A circuit, which is usable in a flash analog-to-digital converter, includes a first switch configured to provide a first reference voltage to a first reference node responsive to a first control signal and a second switch configured to provide the first reference voltage to a second reference node responsive to a second control signal. A third switch is coupled to the first switch and is configured to provide a second reference voltage to the first reference node responsive to a clock signal. Further, a fourth switch is coupled to the second switch and configured to provide the second reference voltage to the second reference node responsive to the clock signal.

Claim (Index 6):
The flash ADC of  claim 5 , further comprising:\n a first inverter to invert the second comparator output signal to produce an inverted second comparator output signal; a second inverter to invert the first comparator output signal to produce an inverted first comparator output signal; a fifth switch to provide the second reference voltage to the first reference node responsive to the inverted second comparator output signal; and a sixth switch to provide the second reference voltage to the second reference node responsive to the inverted first comparator output signal.
