    摘要: A capacitance-to-digital-converter comprising: a first delay block configured to output a first signal after a first delay based on a voltage at a capacitive sensor, the capacitive sensor configured to be iteratively discharged; a second delay block configured to output a second signal after a second delay; and a capacitance determination unit configured to determine a value indicative of a capacitance sensed by the capacitive sensor based on: a number of clock periods during which the first delay is less than a third delay; a first time difference between receipt of the first signal and the second signal during a last clock period during which the first delay is less than the third delay; and a second time difference between receipt of the first signal and receipt of the second signal during a first clock period during which the first delay is greater than the third delay.

    摘要: A new methodology is disclosed to convert analog electric signals into digital data. The method provides a serial scheme without pre-definition of the number of bits (dynamic range). It allows digital processing of the input signal without sampling and holding of the input signal. Processing of the input signal is clock-less and asynchronously dependent on the time-evolution of the input signal itself. Thereby, a programmable, dynamic adjustment of bandwidth (product of dynamic range and speed of conversion) of the analog-to-digital conversion process can be achieved depending on the characteristics of the input signal. Dynamic adjustment of the bandwidth is accomplished by digitally controlling a 'threshold' value at the input capacitor of the comparator, which when met by the input signal, triggers a transition at the output of the comparator.

    摘要: A converter for converting an analog signal to a digital pulse comprises a switching capacitor (10) which is charged by a differential analog signal supplied to the switching capacitor (10) over an input circuit (12). The capacitor (10) is discharged over an output circuit (14) with the aid of a constant current supply (44). The charge level of the capacitor (10) is proportional to the analog signal so that the time it takes the capacitor to discharge to a selected low charge level is proportional to the analog signal. This time period is used by a microprocessor (50) to generate a digital pulse having a pulse width equal to the discharge time for the capacitor (10). The microprocessor (50) also selectively connects the input and output circuits (12, 14) to the capacitor (10) for respectively charging and discharging the capacitor.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention provide a correlated double sampling integrating circuit, including: a sampling and holding module, an energy storage unit and a feedback module; where the sampling and holding module is configured to perform sampling and holding for different input signals, the energy storage unit is configured to store charges corresponding to the input signals upon the sampling and holding to generate node signals (for example, node voltages), and the feedback module is configured to form a negative feedback loop with the energy storage unit to control node signals at an integrating stage to be consistent with node signals at a resetting stage and prevent output jump of the correlated double sampling integrating circuit. Therefore, the correlated double sampling integrating circuit eliminates the noise caused by 1/f noise of the operational amplifier and noise caused by mismatch voltage, and prevents or weakens output jump of the correlated double sampling integrating circuit caused by the increase of the count of integrations.
