    摘要: A pipelined analog-to-digital converter includes: a first switched capacitor network, a first digital-to-analog converter, a second switched capacitor network, a second digital-to-analog converter, and an operational amplifier. The outputs from the first switched capacitor network and the first digital-to-analog converter form a first subtraction signal. The outputs from the second switched capacitor network and the second digital-to-analog converter form a second subtraction signal. The operational amplifier is arranged to operably generate an output signal based on the first subtraction signal or the second subtraction signal, and to operably switch coupling relationship of multiple candidate capacitors of the operational amplifier based on the magnitude of an input signal of a prior stage circuit, so that only a portion of the multiple candidate capacitors could be participated in the generation of the output signal at a time.

    摘要: A pipeline ADC comprising an ADC segment and a digital backend coupled to the ADC segment. In some examples the ADC is configured to receive an analog signal, generate a first partial digital code representing a first sample of the analog signal, and generate a second partial digital code representing a second sample of the analog signal. In some examples the digital backend is configured to receive the first and second partial digital codes from the ADC segment, generate a combined digital code based at least partially on the first and second partial digital codes, determine a gain error of the ADC segment based at least partially on a first correlation of a PRBS with a difference between the first and second partial digital codes, and apply a first correction to the combined digital code based at least partially on the gain error of the ADC segment.

    摘要: System and methods for input path matching in pipelined continuous-time Analog-to Digital Converters (ADCs), including pipelined Continuous-Time Delta Sigma Modulator (CTDSM) based ADCs, includes an input delay circuit disposed in a continuous-time input path from an input of an analog input signal to a first summing circuit of the continuous-time ADC. At least one digital delay line is disposed between an output of an earlier stage sub-ADC (of a plurality of pipelined sub-ADCs) and a sub-digital-to-analog converter (DAC) that is coupled to the first summing circuit, and between the earlier stage sub-ADC and a digital noise cancellation filter. The digital delay line(s) is configured to enable calibration of delay of output of the earlier stage sub-ADC provided to the sub-DAC and the digital noise cancellation filter in accordance with process variations of the input delay match circuit to minimize residue output at first summing circuit.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a first AD converter converts a first voltage into a first digital signal. A voltage/time conversion circuit acquires a residual corresponding to a difference between the first voltage and a result of having converted the first digital signal into an analog signal and converts the residual into a time signal according to a voltage in a first capacitor. A time/voltage conversion circuit converts the time signal into a voltage signal according to a voltage in a second capacitor. A second AD converter converts the voltage signal into a second digital signal. A digital processing circuit outputs a third digital signal to adjust a current value of first or the second current sources based on the second digital signal.

First terminals of a feedback capacitor and at least one capacitor are coupled to a first input terminal of a differential amplifier. Second terminals of the feedback capacitor and the capacitor are coupled to an input terminal during a first period. A feedback compensation circuit amplifies a first voltage on the first input terminal of the differential amplifier by a gain greater than one to generate a second voltage. The second terminal of the feedback capacitor is coupled to the output terminal of the differential amplifier, and the feedback compensation circuit applies the second voltage to the second terminal of the capacitor during a second period.
