A differential analog-to-digital data converter (ADC) is disclosed for receiving a positive input signal and a negative input signal. A distributed resistive device is provided having taps associated therewith. A plurality of comparators each having a signal input and a reference input are provided, the signal input connected to one of the positive and negative input signals and the reference input connected to a tap on said distributed resistive device. A driver drives current through the distributed resistive device with one of the taps of the distributed resistive device disposed at substantially the other of the positive and negative input signals. A current varying device varys the current through the distributed resistive device to vary the voltage between taps.
