Semiconductor integrated circuit and method of operating the same
Abstract:
To improve resolution of a built-in A/D converter by reducing the area occupied by a chip of the built-in A/D converter in a semiconductor integrated circuit that is mounted in an on-vehicle millimeter wave radar device and which incorporates an A/D converter and an MPU. In the semiconductor integrated circuit, a plurality of reception signals of the radar device is A/D-converted by a single digital correction type A/D converter. The digital correction type A/D converter of the single A/D converter is a foreground digital correction type A/D converter that sequentially A/D-converts the reception signals output from a multiplexer of a receiving interface. The single A/D converter includes a pipeline type A/D converter having a plurality of cascade-coupled converters. The semiconductor integrated circuit comprises a correction signal generating unit, a digital correction D/A converter, and a digital correction unit for digital correction.
