A reconfigurable circuit (10) includes an integrator (30) having switches
(SW1-6) for selectively coupling input capacitors (C0,1,2,3,6,7) and
integrating capacitors (C4,5) to terminals of the integrator (30) for
operation of a hybrid delta-sigma/SAR ADC (400) so as to create a
reference voltage value (Vref) equal to the sum of a first voltage
(.DELTA.Vbe) and a second voltage (Vbe). A first integration is performed
to reduce the integrator output voltage swing. A residue (Vresidue) of
the integrator is multiplied by 2. Then the second voltage (Vbe) is
integrated in a first direction if a comparator (22) coupled to the
integrator changes state or in an opposite direction if the comparator
does not change state. The first voltage (.DELTA.Vbe) is integrated in a
direction that causes the integrator output voltage (Vout) to equal
either 2.times.Vresidue-Vref or 2.times.Vresidue+Vref.
