Abstract

The invention pertains to a comparison circuit for an analog/digital converter. In order to reduce the effect of the offset voltages of the various comparators of the comparison circuit, voltage followers and a resistor network delivering at its outputs, mean voltages that are the average of those present on outputs of the comparators are linked downstream of the outputs of the comparators.
