In embodiments, a new analog-to-digital converter (ADC) architecture can
be used with switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) operating at switching
frequencies higher than 10 MHz. Analog-to-digital converter embodiments
can achieve very low power consumption, fast conversion time, and can be
implemented with a simple hardware. Another noteworthy benefit is that
certain ADC embodiments feature a non-linear gain characteristic that
provides improved load transient response for digital controllers.
