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 Vd having a first input, a second input, and an output; a first plurality of capacitors Cp[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 Cn[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 Vd and the digital output port.
