Abstract:
An analog-to-digital converter includes an input terminal, a digital-to-analog converter, a comparator, and successive approximation circuitry. The input terminal is configured to receive a multi-bit digital threshold value from circuitry external to the analog-to-digital converter. The successive approximation circuitry is coupled to the comparator and the digital-to-analog converter. The successive approximation circuitry is configured to operate in a comparison mode and a conversion mode, and to provide the multi-bit digital threshold value to the digital-to-analog converter while operating in the comparison mode. The comparator is coupled to the digital-to-analog converter and the successive approximation circuity. The comparator is configured to output a signal that indicates whether an analog input signal exceeds an analog threshold signal corresponding to the multi-bit digital threshold value.

Claim (Index 3):
The analog-to-digital converter of  claim 2 , wherein the successive approximation circuitry is configured to apply the output signal generated by the comparator to determine whether each of the switches is to be opened or closed while operating in the conversion mode.
