Abstract
An analog to digital converter (ADC) can operate in an amplifier configuration or a converter configuration. In the amplifier configuration, the ADC receives an input voltage and scales the input voltage by a factor during at least one clock cycle. In the converter configuration, the ADC uses the scaled input voltage to determine a digital value corresponding to the input voltage.
