Abstract
A successive approximation analog/digital converter is provided, which includes a successive approximation register supplying a digital/analog converter, first means of comparing an input signal of the analog/digital converter to an output signal of the digital/analog converter delivering a first comparison signal, said successive approximation analog/digital converter being synchronised by a clock signal coming from a conversion clock. A method such as this includes dynamic adaptation of the conversion clock period based on at least one parameter.
