An analog-to-digital converter includes a sample-and-hold amplifier (SHA),
a plurality of stages of analog-to-digital converting (ADC) units and an
adjustment circuit. The SHA samples an analog input signal. The ADC units
serially converts the analog input signal sampled by the SHA into
corresponding digital values, in which a first stage of the ADC units
generates the digital value including most significant bits. The
adjustment circuit controls the SHA by checking the most significant bits
from the first stage of the ADC units to modify offsets of the analog
input signal with respect to a reference value. A method for adjusting an
analog input signal in an analog-to-digital converter and a method for
converting an analog input signal into a digital signal are also
disclosed herein.
