Abstract
An embodiment ADC device includes a plurality of comparator elements, each comparator element of the plurality of comparator elements having a first input connected to an input port, each comparator element of the plurality of comparator elements having a second input port connected to a reference signal port. The ADC device further has a switch matrix having routing circuitry connected to an output of each comparator of the plurality of comparators, and a plurality of latches, with each latch of the plurality of latches having an input connected to the routing circuitry. The routing circuitry is configured to connect the output of each comparator of the plurality of comparators to an input of each latch of the plurality of latches according to one or more signals received at one or more control ports.
