Abstract
An analog-to-digital converter includes a ½ powered signal generator configured to generate divided signals by successively dividing a full scale signal by 2 and output one of the divided signals, an accumulator configured to update a reference signal according to a current divided signal and a current output bit, and a comparator configured to compare the updated reference signal with an input signal and generate a next output bit.
