    摘要: An analog-to-digital converter circuit incorporating includes a multi-bit input buffer having a differential input and configured to generate, at a plurality of differential outputs, a plurality of residues of a differential input sample relative to a corresponding plurality of zero-crossing references. Chopping stages chop the residues, for example with a pseudo-random binary sequence. The circuit further includes zero-crossing comparators, each with differential inputs coupled to receive one of the chopped residues. The zero-crossing comparators are in an ordered sequence of zone thresholds within the input range of the circuit. Folding logic circuitry has inputs coupled to outputs of the comparators, and outputs a delay domain signal indicating a magnitude of the one of the residues relative to a nearest zone threshold. Digital stage circuitry generates a digital output word representing the received input sample responsive to the comparator outputs and the delay domain signal.

    摘要: Aspects of the description provide for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) operable to convert an analog input signal to an output signal at an output of the ADC. In some examples, the ADC includes multiple sub-ADCs coupled in parallel, each of the multiple sub-ADCs coupled to the output of the ADC and operable to receive the analog input signal. The ADC is configured to operate the sub-ADCs in a consecutive operation loop including a transition phase in which the ADC operates each of the sub-ADCs sequentially for a first number of sequences, an estimation phase in which the ADC operates each of the sub-ADCs sequentially for a second number of sequences following the first number of sequences, and a randomization phase in which the ADC operates subsets of the sub-ADCs for a third number of sequences following the second number of sequences.

    摘要: In described examples, a switched capacitor circuit includes an amplifier that generates a first output signal in response to a first sampled input signal. A second sampling circuit is coupled to the amplifier and generates an output signal in response to the first output signal. A first current boost circuit is coupled to the amplifier and the second sampling circuit and provides current to the second sampling circuit when the first output signal is below a first threshold. A second current boost circuit is coupled to the amplifier and the second sampling circuit and receives current from the second sampling circuit when the first output signal is above a second threshold.
