Abstract

Example embodiments relate to systems and methods for analog-to-digital signal conversion. One embodiment includes a system for analog-to-digital signal conversion. The system includes an analog input signal. The system also includes a digital-to-analog converter configured to generate a reference signal. Further, the system includes an amplifier configured to amplify an error signal that includes a difference between the analog input signal and the reference signal. Additionally, the system includes a level-crossing based sampling circuit that includes a first comparator configured to compare the error signal with respect to a first reference level, and a second comparator configured to compare the error signal with respect to a second reference level, thereby generating event-based reset signals corresponding to a plurality of sampling instances in order to reset the digital-to-analog converter. Yet further, the system includes a trigger circuit configured to generate reset signals asynchronous to the event-based reset signals.
