Abstract
An analog-to-digital converter, ADC, module is configured to operate in a coarse conversion ADC phase, and a fine conversion ADC phase comprising a delta modulation loop for tracking a signal, wherein the ADC module is configured to, at initiation of input of an analog signal, operate in the coarse conversion ADC phase for determining a coarse digital value; wherein the ADC module is configured to, when the coarse digital value is determined, operate in the fine conversion ADC phase, receive the coarse digital value as an initial approximation of the analog signal and track the analog signal during a finite duration.
