Signal settling device and method

An input signal settling device comprising:

• a signal input port;
• a signal output port;
• a high accuracy component configured to receive an input signal from said signal input port, to settle said input signal with a high degree of accuracy, and to provide said settled input signal to said output port;
• and
• a fast settling component configured to receive said input signal from said signal input port, to settle said input signal with high speed, and to provide said settled input signal to said output port, for high accuracy, high speed signal settling.

An ADC input signal settling device comprising:

• a first ADC input port for receiving an input signal;
• a second ADC input port for receiving an accurately settled input signal;
• and
• an OTA comprising an OTA input and an OTA output, wherein said OTA input is configured in communication with said first ADC input port for receiving said input signal, wherein said OTA is configured to quickly settle said input signal, and wherein said OTA output is configured in communication with said second ADC input port for fast and accurate settling of said input signal.

An input signal settling system for use in an analog to digital converter (“ADC”) system, the input signal settling system comprising:

• an ADC comprising an ADC input port;
• an op-amp configured to settle a first input signal with high accuracy and to communicate said high accuracy settled signal to said ADC input port;
• a resistor configured between an output of said op-amp and said ADC input port;
• and
• an OTA configured to settle said first input signal with high speed and in parallel with said op-amp and to communicate said high speed settled signal to said ADC input port.
