<p>A subranging analog-to-digital converter is disclosed. A coarse analog-to-digital converter has an analog input terminal coupled to a source of analog signal, a digital output terminal, and a range indication output terminal. First and second fine analog-to-digital converters each have an analog input terminal coupled to the analog signal source, a range selection input terminal coupled to the range indication output terminal, and a digital output terminal. A combining circuit has input terminals coupled to the digital output terminals of the coarse and first and second fine analog-to-digital converters. The coarse analog-to-digital converter operates on every clock cycle, and the fine analog-to-digital converters operate alternately on every other clock cycle to produce a sequence of digital samples representing the analog signal, one for each clock cycle.</p> |
