Abstract:
The present disclosure, in some embodiments, relates to an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The ADC includes a successive approximation register and a voltage-to-time conversion element. The successive approximation register is configured to receive an input signal and to generate a first digital signal and a residue voltage. The voltage-to-time conversion element is configured to convert the residue voltage to a time domain representation. The voltage-to-time conversion element includes an amplifier having an input coupled to an output of the successive approximation register and configured to receive the residue voltage, and a zero crossing detector directly coupled to an output of the amplifier. A time-to-digital converter is coupled to an output of the zero crossing detector and is configured to generate a second digital signal.

Claim (Index 3):
The ADC of  claim 2 ,\n wherein track-and-hold circuit is configured to provide a voltage to the second input of the arithmetic unit, the voltage having a value that corresponds to a value of the input signal at a first time; and wherein the arithmetic unit is configured to generate the residue voltage based upon the voltage and an output of the CDAC.
