Abstract:
Systems and methods are provided for converting analog data to digital data that can include performing N successive analog subtractions from an initial data charge Qin. The analog subtractions are performed using an amplifier coupled to a discharge capacitor and a divider circuit coupled to an input of the amplifier. The divider circuit includes a first capacitor, a second capacitor, and a switch to alternately divide a remaining charge Q by 2N between the first and second capacitors until the remaining charge Qin at the amplifier is below a threshold value. A compensating circuit compensates for fluctuations in the charge held by the first and second capacitors due to operation of the switch.
