    摘要: An analog-to-digital converter circuit is disclosed employing a plurality of comparators each having the same reference voltage input. At each comparator stage plus and minus binary "bit weights" are developed. Selection of either the positive or negative bit weights at a stage allows a binary fraction to be added or subtracted. The number of comparator stages need only equal the number of desired digit positions in the output instead of having one comparator for each quantizing level. The comparator stages operate in a "wave" or "pipeline" manner under the control of a plurality of high speed wave forms so that each stage decodes its respective binary digit for one analog sample while the other stages are decoding their respective binary digits of other analog samples.

    摘要: A charge transfer circuit of the type including first and second capacitors and a charge transfer transistor for transferring discrete packets of charge from the first to the second capacitor is disclosed. The charge transfer circuit includes a feedback circuit which recharges the first capacitor to a value which varies as a function of the threshold voltage of the charge transfer transistor. As a result, the magnitude of the charge packets transferred by the charge transfer remain at a predetermined value irrespective of variations in the threshold voltage of the transistor.

    摘要: A four bit subtractor analog to digital converter provides direct conversion of analog voltage signals into binary or binary coded decimal output signals for digital display or digital signal processing. The analog to digital converter utilizes a plurality of signal processing sections, each section being designed to provide a binary output with the composite output bits being indicative of the analog input signal. In processing the analog signal an operational amplifier compares the input analog signal with a reference voltage in each section. Each section either passes or rejects the analog signal input in response to this comparison voltage. If the signal is rejected by a section it is passed to the next section where the same type of comparison takes place, if the signal is accepted by the operational amplifier and operated on, a comparator responsive to the amplifier output changes state providing a binary one output instead of a binary zero. A change in the comparator output signal to a binary one causes a field effect transistor switch to change states thereby supplying the operational amplifier output signal to subsequent signal processing sections instead of the originally supplied analog signal input. Subsequent sections operate in an identical manner with a systematic reduction in the comparison or reference voltage for providing digital signal processing. An amplifier at the end of each signal processing stage operates on the residual analog signal input to that amplifier to prepare the signal for processing in subsequent stages and thereby maintain signal integrity with no loss of signal level.

    摘要: An analog-to-digital converter using MOS-charge redistribution techniques performs an N-bit analog-to-digital conversion with only N steps, using two capacitors. These capacitors enable obtaining at each step a reference voltage VRi=VR/2.sup.i and either to compute a voltage Vi+1=Vi-VRi if the i.sup.th bit is equal to 1 or to retain the voltage Vi+1=Vi if the i.sup.th bit is equal to 0. At each step, the voltage Vi is compared to the reference voltage VRi in order to determine the value of the i.sup.th bit.

    摘要: A calibration circuit for a recirculation of remainder analog-to-digital (A/D) converter heuristically solves a multiple variable conversion equation. Input analog calibration and analog reference signals are compared in a comparator, and when the two signals have a predetermined relationship, the comparator generates an indicator signal. A microprocessor determines a first pattern of digital reference signals that, together with digital calibration signals generated by the microprocessor, causes the comparator to generate the indicator signal and a second pattern of digital reference signals that, together with the input analog calibration signals, causes the comparator to generate the indicator signal. The difference between the first and second patterns of digital reference signals is stored as conversion coefficients.

    摘要: The disclosed analog to digital converter employs a single signal propagation path thereby necessitating only one holding capacitor (101) per stage (STAGE 1) of coding. The first terminal (B) of each holding capacitor (101) is connected to a reference voltage (L1) such as a resistive divider (106, 116, 126, 136, 146, 150, 151, V.sub.HI) which has binary weighted taps (L1-L5). The other terminal (A) of each holding capacitor (101) is connected to the analog signal input (INPUT). The reference voltage (L1) and the analog sample (V1) are compared and, for a zero decision, the stored analog sample (V1) is directly passed on to the subsequent stage (STAGE 2) by a buffer circuit (102). For a one decision, the aforementioned first terminal (B) of the holding capacitor (101) is switched from the tap of the resistive divider to circuit ground thereby subtracting that binary weight (L1) from the signal (V1) stored on the holding capacitor (101). When the subtraction operation is complete, the remaining signal (V1-L1) is passed through the buffer circuit (102) to the subsequent stage (STAGE 2).

    摘要: A sample and hold circuit uses two amplifiers the second being a Miller integrator and the first a comparator which compares the feed back stored capacitor voltage to the sampled voltage to bring the stored voltage of the capacitor to the sample voltage value. This stored voltage will have included in it the offset voltage of the first amplifier. However on readout this offset voltage is eliminated by disconnecting the sample input and also the connection between the output of the first amplifier and the input of the second and instead connecting the output of the first amplifier to the sample input and taking the output from this interconnection line. Since the noninverting or plus terminal of the first amplifier has impressed upon it the stored voltage of the capacitor the unwanted offset voltage is effectively subtracted. The foregoing sample and hold circuit also finds preferred use in a 12 bit recirculating A to D converter where cumulative offset errors would cause error. In such a configuration one of the sample and hold circuits can have the feedback interconnection of the first amplifier configured to perform suitable multiplication and subtraction, for example, for a Gray code. Here a second sample and hold circuit stores successive computational results.

    摘要: An absolute-value analog-to-digital converter containing a chain of matched main absolute-value differential amplifiers (A.sub.1 -A.sub.N) has a gain control for regulating the gain of each main amplifier utilizing an auxiliary absolute-value differential amplifier (A.sub.GC) matched to the main amplifiers. An offset control in the converter drives the offsets of the amplifiers toward zero by using a further absolute-value differential amplifier (A.sub.OC) matched to the other amplifiers. The gain and offset control are implemented with suitable feedback circuitry.
