    摘要: A digital slope analog to digital converter includes a charge injection digital to analog converter (DAC) circuit, a comparator circuit, a detector circuit, and a control logic circuitry. The charge injection DAC circuit respectively samples input signals via first and second capacitors and generates a first signal via the first capacitor and a second signal via the second capacitor. The comparator circuit compares the first signal with the second signal to generate decision signals. The detector circuit generates a flag signal according to the decision signals. The control logic circuitry generates an enable signal according to the flag signal and generates a digital output when the comparator circuit detects a crossing point of the first and second signals. The charge injection DAC circuit gradually adjusts charges stored in the first and/or the second capacitor according to the enable signal until the crossing point is detected.

    摘要: The present invention discloses a signal gain tuning circuit having adaptive mechanism. An amplifier receives an analog signal to generate a tuned analog signal to an ADC circuit to further generate a digital signal. A gain control capacitor array and the amplifier together determine a gain of the tuned analog signal. The control circuit receives an actual level of the digital signal to determine an offset of the digital signal and an estimated level to generate a tuning control signal. Each of coarse-tuning capacitors of a coarse-tuning capacitor array corresponds to a first tuning amount relative to a maximal gain. Each of fine-tuning capacitors of a fine-tuning capacitor array corresponds to a second tuning amount relative to the maximal gain. A tuning capacitor enabling combination of the coarse-tuning and fine-tuning capacitor arrays are determined according to the tuning control signal to tune the gain and decrease the offset.

    摘要: A time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (TIADC) operates in a first mode or a second mode and includes M analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), a reference ADC, a digital correction circuit, and a control circuit. The M ADCs sample an input signal according to M enable signals to generate M digital output codes. The reference ADC samples the input signal according to a reference enable signal to generate a reference digital output code. The digital correction circuit corrects the M digital output codes to generate M corrected digital output codes. The control circuit generates the M enable signals and the reference enable signal according to a clock. The control circuit outputs the M corrected digital output codes in turn but does not output the reference digital output code in the first mode and randomly outputs the M corrected digital output codes and the reference digital output code in the second mode.
