ABSTRACT:
An improved input ranging divider and method for an analog to digital converter in which a floating common input line to the A to D comparator is coupled through an R/2R resistive input ladder. A constant reference voltage is applied to the other comparator input. By applying an input voltage to a certain input terminal or terminals of the input ranging divider, while the remaining terminals are either grounded or left floating, a wide range of diverse operating ranges may be made available to an A to D converter while utilizing only a small overall number of inputs.
