Delay compensated single slope analog-to-digital converter

Abstract

Various embodiments relate to a single slope analog to digital converter (ADC), including: a voltage slope generator; a reference voltage generator configured to generate a first reference voltage, a second reference voltage, and a third reference voltage, where the first reference voltage equals the sum of the second reference voltage and the third reference voltage; a first comparator configured to compare a voltage to a voltage output from the voltage slope generator; a first register configured to store a first count based upon the first reference voltage being input into the first comparator; a second register configured to store a second count based upon the second reference voltage being input into the first comparator; a third register configured to store a third count based upon the third reference voltage being input into the first comparator; a fourth register configured to store a fourth count based upon a first input voltage being input into the first comparator, wherein the first input voltage is the voltage to be converted to a digital value by the ADC; and an output circuit configured to calculate a digital value for the first input voltage based upon the first, second, third, and fourth counts.
