The audio ADC includes a programmable gain amplifier (PGA) having an input terminal for receiving an audio signal; a bypass switch having an input terminal for receiving an analog audio signal; and a successive approximation ADC having input terminals respectively connected to output terminals of the PGA and the bypass switch; the PGA gains and amplifies the audio signal, the bypass switch bypasses the PGA, and outputs the analog audio signal; the successive approximation performs analog-to-digital conversion with noise shaping on the analog audio signal after gain amplification at a first sampling rate/oversampling rate when the audio ADC is normal working, and turns off noise shaping when the audio ADC is sleep, performs analog-to-digital conversion on the analog audio signal output by the bypass switch at a second sampling rate/oversampling rate, and outputs to a DSP.

    摘要: A reference voltage controlling circuit and an analog-to-digital converter are disclosed. The reference voltage controlling circuit includes a reference voltage generating circuit, a plurality of groups of sampling switching units and a logic controlling circuit. The DAC capacitor array switches the sampling switching units to a second positive reference voltage and a second negative reference voltage before starting sampling or conversion, and is charged and discharged with the second positive reference voltage and the second negative reference voltage to raise a voltage to a preset voltage. The sampling switching unit is switched to a first positive reference voltage and a first negative reference voltage to charge and discharge the DAC capacitor array to a target voltage. The rising of the voltage from the preset voltage to the target voltage is completed by the first positive reference voltage and the first negative reference voltage.

    摘要: The present disclosure provides a power amplifier and an electrical device. The two-stage power amplifier architecture is tuned staggered before power combining. A previous stage matching network and its input matching are split into a cascaded staggered tuning, such that the center frequency is at frequency point 1 less than the design frequency point and frequency point 2 greater than design frequency point, and then the power combining stage is tuned at the design frequency point. At advanced process nodes (such as 65 nm or below), compared with the known architecture, in-band signal quality and out-of-band filtering effect of the power amplifier chip integrating this architecture will be better when using the same number of transformers (same area), the reliability will be better. Due to its good flatness within the band, this architecture is especially suitable for carrier aggregation communication occasions.

    摘要: The present disclosure relates to a mismatch calibration circuit for a current steering DAC of a SoC baseband chip and a SoC baseband chip. The mismatch calibration circuit includes current mirror compensation circuits, a calibration switching switch module, a calibration resistor, a voltage detection module, and a calibration control module. The resistance of the calibration resistor is 2N−1 times the resistance of the load resistor, where N is the number of MSBs. The number of the current mirror compensation circuits is equal to the number of the MSB current mirror branches. The current mirror compensation circuits are connected in parallel with the MSB current mirror branches to form current mirror parallel branches. The present disclosure minimizes mismatch error between the output currents of the current mirror array in the SoC baseband chip of 28 nm process or even a smaller process dimension, thereby improving conversion accuracy of the DAC.
