Abstract
An analog-to-digital converter has first and second comparators and an interpolation comparator. The first comparator receives an input signal and a comparison signal, and generates an output as a function of the input signal and the comparison signal. The second comparator receives the input signal and a second comparison signal (different from the first comparison signal), and generates a second output as a function of the input signal and the second comparison signal. The interpolation comparator, operatively connected to the first and second comparators, receives the first and second outputs, and generates a third output based on relative timing of the first and second outputs.
