    The document describes the process of a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter. It works by first comparing the input voltage to half the reference voltage and setting the most significant bit accordingly. It then shifts to the next bit, sets it to 1, and compares to a DAC output of either Vref/4 or 3Vref/4 depending on the MSB. This process repeats, shifting to the next bit and comparing the DAC output to the input voltage, until the DAC output converges to the input voltage within the resolution of the converter.

    5) Next,Vin is compared to Vref/2.

    If Vref/2 is greater than Vin , then the comparator output is a 1 & the

    comparator resets DN-1 to 0 .

    If Vref/2 is less than Vin , then the comparator output is a 0 & the DN-1

    remains a 1. DN-1 is the actual MSB of the final digit output code.

    6) The 1 applied to the shift register is then shifted by one position so that

    BN-2=1,while the remaining bits are all 0.

    7) DN-2 is set to a 1, DN-3 through D0 remain 0,while DN-1 remains the

    value from the MSB conversion.The output of the DAC will now either

    equal to Vref/4 (if DN-1=0) or 3Vref/4(if DN-1=1).

    8) Next , Vin is compared to the output of the DAC .

    If the DAC output is greater than Vin , the comparator the DN-2 is reset to 0
    .

    If Vin is less than the DAC output , DN-2 remains a 1 .

    9) The process repeats until the output of the DAC converges to the value
    of

    Vin within the resolution of the converter .
