Abstract:
In one embodiment, a method for generating a reference comprises generating a current that is approximately temperature independent over a temperature range based on an emitter-base voltage of a first bipolar junction transistor (BJT), and generating a first proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT) current based on the emitter-base voltage of the first BJT.
Abstract:
Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide a successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) implemented with a digital filter for noise shaping. For example, certain aspects provide a circuit for analog-to-digital conversion having: a first digital-to-analog converter (DAC) having an output coupled to a sampling node; a comparator having an input coupled to the sampling node; SAR logic having an input coupled to an output of the comparator and at least one output coupled to an input of the first DAC; a quantizer configured to generate a first digital signal representing a voltage at the sampling node; a digital filter configured to apply a filter to the first digital signal; and a second DAC configured to generate an analog signal representing the filtered first digital signal and provide the analog signal to the sampling node.
Abstract:
In one embodiment, a circuit includes a first input of a comparator for an analog to digital converter (ADC). The first input is coupled to a first capacitive network. The circuit further includes a second input of the comparator for the ADC. The second input is coupled to a second capacitive network. The first capacitive network includes a first set of capacitors where a first plate of the first set of capacitors is selectively coupled to an input signal. The second capacitive network includes a second set of capacitors where a second plate of the first set of capacitors is selectively coupled to the input signal. The first plate and the second plate are opposite plates of the first set of capacitors and the second set of capacitors.
