An analog to digital converter circuit includes an isolation circuit, an
input circuit including a resistor chain, a plurality of fixed threshold
comparators, and an encoder. The resistor chain includes a plurality of
resistors connected in series, the isolation circuit being configured to
isolate a device supplying the analog input signal from the input
circuit. The isolation circuit is connected to the input circuit at a top
node of the resistor chain, and wherein 2.sup.N values of the analog
input voltage are connected to inputs of the fixed threshold comparators
to produce corresponding output signals. Methods of converting an analog
signal to a digital signal are also described.
