1. An analog-to-digital converter, comprising:
- a first sample and hold circuit for sampling and temporarily storing a first input signal;
a comparator for converting the sampled first input signal into a digital signal in a first time period; and
a second sample and hold circuit for sampling and temporarily storing a second input signal in a second time period, the second time period at least partially overlapping with the first time period.

Abstract
An analog-to-digital converter based on an interleaving architecture is disclosed. The analog-to-digital converter can include a first sample and hold circuit for sampling and temporarily storing a first input signal. The analog-to-digital converter can also include a comparator for converting the sampled first input signal into a digital signal in a first time period. The analog-to-digital converter can further include a second sample and hold circuit for sampling and temporarily storing a second input signal in a second time period. The second time period at least partially overlaps with the first time period.
