摘要: The present invention discloses an analog-to-digital conversion circuit having quick tracking mechanism is provided. A positive and a negative capacitor arrays receive a positive and a negative input voltages and output a positive and a negative output voltages. A first and a second comparators performs comparison thereon respectively according to and not according to a reference voltage to generate a first and a second comparison results. A control circuit does not perform level-shifting when a difference between the positive and the negative output voltages is not within a predetermined range. The control circuit assigns the positive and the negative capacitor arrays a voltage up-tracking direction and a voltage down-tracking direction respectively to switch a capacitor enabling combination with digital codes according to the second comparison result, and outputs the digital codes as a digital output signal when the positive and the negative output voltages equal.

摘要: An AD converter includes: an accumulation conversion unit that performs a comparison of magnitudes of an input voltage V2 and an accumulated voltage V1 obtained by accumulating a unit voltage and outputs a comparison signal representing a result of the comparison; an accumulation comparison determination unit that repeatedly compares an accumulated voltage V1, obtained by repeating the comparison until the comparison signal changes and corresponding to an accumulated voltage V1 at which the comparison signal changes, and the input voltage V2 a predetermined number of times to determine an equivalent-state accumulation number in which a state probability that the comparison signal changes is equal to a threshold; and a control unit that determines conversion data of the input voltage using the equivalent-state accumulation number.

摘要: A high resolution analog to digital converter (ADC) with improved bandwidth senses an analog signal (e.g., a load current) to generate a digital signal. The ADC operates based on a load voltage produced based on charging of an element (e.g., a capacitor) by a load current and a digital to analog converter (DAC) output current (e.g., from a N-bit DAC). The ADC generates a digital output signal representative of a difference between the load voltage and a reference voltage. This digital output signal is used directly, or after digital signal processing, to operate an N-bit DAC to generate a DAC output current that tracks the load current. In addition, quantization noise is subtracted from the digital output signal thereby extending the operational bandwidth of the ADC. In certain examples, the operational bandwidth of the ADC extends up to 100s of kHz (e.g., 200-300 kHz), or even higher.

摘要: Facilitating a reduction in sensor system latency, circuit size, and current draw utilizing a group of continuous-time Nyquist rate analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) in a round-robin manner is presented herein. A sensor system can comprise a group of sensors that generate respective sensor output signals based on an external excitation of the sensor system; a multiplexer that facilitates a selection, based on a sensor selection input, of a sensor output signal of the respective sensor output signals corresponding to a sensor of the group of sensors; a sense amplifier comprising a charge or voltage sensing circuit that converts the sensor output signal to an analog output signal; and a continuous-time Nyquist rate analog-to-digital converter of the group of continuous-time Nyquist rate ADCs that converts the analog output signal to a digital output signal representing at least a portion of the external excitation of the sensor system.
