We have developed a method to convert the current generated by a resistance change sensor array into digital values using VCO-ADCs or integrating ADC. However, VCO-ADC has a quantization error problem, while integrating ADC has a conversion time problem. Therefore, we propose an ADC that combines both methods and compensates for their shortcomings.
