Method and system for an analog-to-digital converter with near-constant common mode voltage
Abstract:
Methods and systems for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with constant common mode voltage may include in an ADC comprising a sampling switch on a first input line to the ADC, a sampling switch on a second input line to the ADC, N switched capacitor pairs and M single switched capacitors on the first input line, and N switched capacitor pairs and M single switched capacitors on the second input line: sampling an input voltage by closing the sampling switches, opening the sampling switches and comparing voltage levels between the input lines, iteratively switching the switched capacitor pairs between a reference voltage (Vref) and ground based on the compared voltage levels, and iteratively switching the single switched capacitors between ground and voltages that are a fraction of Vref, which may equal Vref/2x where x ranges from 0 to m−1 and m is a number of single switched capacitors per input line.
