Voltage data capture circuits and techniques. In one example, a circuit includes a differential transconductance stage, a differential transimpedance stage, and an analog to digital converter (ADC). The differential transconductance stage is configured to convert a differential input voltage into a differential current, and the differential transimpedance stage is configured to convert the differential current into a differential output voltage. The ADC is configured to sample the differential output voltage to produce a digital output signal. The circuit may further include a common-mode voltage regulator configured to regulate a common-mode input voltage for the differential transimpedance stage.
