Abstract:
A system can include an analog input port; a digital output port; and a successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The SAR ADC can include a voltage comparator V d  having a first input, a second input, and an output; a first plurality of capacitors C p [0 :n] that are coupled with the analog input port and each have a top plate and a bottom plate; a second plurality of capacitors C n [0 :n] that are coupled with the analog input port and each have a top plate and a bottom plate; and a SAR controller coupled between the output of the voltage comparator V d  and the digital output port.

Claim (Index 19):
A successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter, comprising:\n a voltage comparator having a first input, a second input, and an output; a first plurality of capacitors each having a first plate and a second plate, the first plate in electrical communication with the first input of the voltage comparator and switchably connectable to a common mode voltage, and the second plate switchably connectable to one of a first input voltage, a reference voltage, the common mode voltage, or a ground, and the common mode voltage equal to one-half of the reference voltage; a second plurality of capacitors each having a first plate and a second plate, the first plate in electrical communication with the second input of the voltage comparator and switchably connectable to the common mode voltage, the second plate switchably connectable to one of a second input voltage, the reference voltage, the common mode voltage, or the ground, and the first plurality of capacitors and the second plurality of capacitors collectively representing a set of bits; and a controller configured to implement a collapsible successive approximation register algorithm using ternary values for each bit of the set of bits to encode an analog input.
