Systems, methods, and devices provide sampling for data converters. Methods include receiving a voltage from a voltage source, and identifying transconductance parameters and resistance parameters associated with a data converter, the transconductance parameters identifying a transconductance of the data converter. Methods also include selecting a resistor from a plurality of dynamically selectable resistors based on the resistance parameters, generating, using a programmable gain amplifier, a current based, at least in part, on the selected resistor and the received voltage, and providing the current to the data converter.

OVERCURRENT DETECTION WITH MULTI-BIT ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTERS

The techniques described herein relate to overcurrent detection with multi-bit analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). An example apparatus includes a multi-bit analog-to-digital converter (ADC) configured to convert an analog signal into a multi-bit digital signal. The example apparatus further includes a threshold detector configured to generate an output signal indicative of an overcurrent condition after a detection of at least a first number of bits of the multi-bit digital signal satisfying a threshold.
