A simple and highly efficient successive‐approximation registers (SAR) ADC realisation is proposed. It requires an opamp, a comparator and only three equal‐valued capacitors. The proposed scheme is insensitive to the capacitor parasitics, and has a small capacitance spread. With an oversampled scheme, it also allows noise‐shaping the remaining quantisation error. It is well‐suited for low‐frequency instrumentation and measurement applications, and for use in extended‐counting ADCs.
