Analog-to-digital converter circuitry includes comparator circuitry, capacitor analog-to-digital converter circuitry (CDA), and successive approximation register (SAR) circuitry. The comparator circuitry includes a non-inverting input and an inverting input to selectively receive a differential voltage signal, and an output. The CDAC circuitry includes a first capacitor network having a first plurality of capacitors. A first capacitor of the first plurality of capacitors includes a first terminal connected to the non-inverting input and a second terminal selectively connected to a first voltage potential and a second voltage potential. The first voltage potential is greater than the second voltage potential. The SAR circuitry is connected to the output and the first capacitor network, and connects, during a first period, the second terminal of the first capacitor to the second voltage potential. The non-inverting input and the inverting input are connected to the differential voltage signal during the first period.
