Abstract
An analog to digital converter has an input circuit, a computation circuit, an initialization circuit, and an output circuit. The input circuit is for receiving an analog signal and has a pair of outputs. A computation circuit has a pair of inputs coupled to the pair of outputs. The computation circuit has an amplifier having a pair of complementary outputs (Outp, Outn). The initialization circuit is coupled to the complementary outputs and is for biasing the complementary outputs at a time prior to the computation circuit beginning a computation on the analog signal. The output circuit is coupled to the pair of complementary outputs and provides a digital signal.
