Abstract

A circuit comprises a plurality of bit lines, a global counter configured to provide a count value, a global reference source, a plurality of capacitors, a comparator, a storage element, and capacitor selector circuitry. The capacitor selector circuitry is configured to select, in dependence on the count value, one or more capacitors from the plurality of capacitors, and wherein the selection of the one or more capacitors is further in dependence on pre-coded codes receivable from an agent separate from the circuit, the pre-coded codes enabling specifying respective first and second sets of the plurality of capacitors as respective one or more capacitors having respective first and second capacitance values, the pre-coded codes further enabling specifying selection of the first set to be performed at an earlier time than selection of the second set, and the second capacitance value is more than the first capacitance value
