    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention may provide accuracy enhancement techniques to improve ADC SNRs. For example, regular bit trials from a most significant bit (MSB) to predetermined less significant bit of a digital word and extra bit trials may be performed. The results of the regular and extra bit trials may be combined to generate a digital output signal. A residue error may be measured, and the digital output signal may be adjusted based on the measured residue error.

    摘要: According to an embodiment, a signal processing device includes an integrator, a first analog-to-digital converter, and a histogram creator. The integrator is configured to integrate an electrical charge corresponding to electromagnetic waves. The first analog-to-digital converter is configured to perform an analog-to-digital conversion operation that generates digital data of the electrical charge using an integration output from the integrator, on a parallel with an integration operation performed by the integrator. The histogram creator is configured to create a histogram that represents an energy distribution of the electromagnetic waves, from the digital data generated by the first analog-to-digital converter.

    摘要: An analogue-to-digital converter, ADC, for converting an analogue input signal (Vin) into a digital signal (output) is disclosed. The ADC comprises a correction unit (15) adapted to generate a correction signal, which offsets the output signal from a feedback DAC configured to produce an analogue representation of the digital signal (output) so that the offset output signal (Vdac) has the same common-mode or bias point as the input signal (Vin).

    摘要: A method for placing a device in a selected mode of operation. The method comprises the steps of initializing a device select signal into a first logic state, asserting the device select signal in a second logic state, and returning the device select signal to the first logic state within a first user-controlled time window. A device is also described that includes means for detecting logic state transitions at a device select input and a clock input, and means for changing operating mode of the device in response to a predetermined number of logic state transitions at the clock input, occurring between logic state transitions at the device select input. The selected operating mode may be a reduced power consumption mode, for example, or another operating mode of the device, such as a daisy-chain mode of operation, or a mode that accommodates programming of analog input range.
