Abstract: A hybrid analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes a plurality of analog-to-digital conversion circuits and a combining circuit. The analog-to-digital conversion circuits generate a plurality of partial digital outputs for a same analog input, respectively, wherein the analog-to-digital conversion circuits include a digital slope ADC used to perform signal quantization in a time domain. The combining circuit combines the partial digital outputs generated from the analog-to-digital conversion circuits to generate a final digital output of the analog input.

Abstract: A comparator offset calibration system having a comparator offset evaluator and a switched-capacitor network is disclosed, which is in an analog and digital dual domain structure. The comparator offset evaluator receives digital data from an analog-to-digital conversion module, evaluates an offset of a comparator of the analog-to-digital conversion module based on the received digital data, and outputs an evaluated result. The switched-capacitor network processes the evaluated result to generate a control signal. The analog-to-digital conversion module adjusts the offset of the comparator according to the control signal.

Abstract: An interleaving successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) with noise shaping having a first SAR block, a second SAR block, and a noise-shaping circuit is provided. The first and second SAR blocks take turns to sample an input voltage for successive approximation of the input voltage and observation of a digital representation of the input voltage. The noise-shaping circuit receives a first residue voltage from the first SAR block and receives a second residue voltage from the second SAR block alternately, and outputs a noise-shaping signal to be fed into the first SAR block and the second SAR block.

Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using an amplifier-based noise shaping circuit. The amplifier-based noise shaping circuit generates a noise shaping signal. A comparator of the ADC has a first input terminal coupled to an output terminal of a capacitive data acquisition converter that captures an analog input, a second input terminal receiving the noise shaping signal, and an output terminal for observation of the digital representation of the analog input. The amplifier-based noise shaping circuit uses an amplifier to amplify a residual voltage obtained from the capacitive data acquisition converter and provides a switched capacitor network between the amplifier and the comparator for sampling the amplified residual voltage and generating the noise shaping signal.
