Abstract

A capacitive analog-to-digital converter, an analog-to-digital conversion system, a chip, and a device. The capacitive analog-to-digital converter includes: a first capacitor array, including N first capacitor banks that include M first capacitors, where M is a positive integer greater than N; M first switches, respectively connected to first electrode plates of the M first capacitors in a one-to-one correspondence to enable a successive approximation logic controller to control connections of the first electrode plates of the M first capacitors with an output of a voltage generation circuit and with a first sampling voltage output by controlling the M first switches; a comparator, including a first input, a second input and an output; and the successive approximation logic controller, connected to the output of the comparator, and configured to control the M first switches according to comparison results output by the output of the comparator.
