    摘要: A phase estimator comprising a first input terminal configured to receive a first analogue input signal; a second input terminal configured to receive a second analogue input signal, wherein the second analogue input signal is 90° out of phase with the first analogue input signal. The phase estimator is configured to provide a digital word representative of the phase of the first analogue input signal and the second analogue input signal. The phase estimator comprises a register configured to store N bits as a digital word a first reference signal generator, a second reference signal generator and a comparator.

    摘要: A circuit for sampling an analog input signal may include a transistor disposed on a substrate and a sampling capacitor coupled to one of the source and the drain of the transistor. The transistor may be disposed on a substrate that is coupled to ground. A source and a drain of the transistor may be disposed in a back gate of the transistor. The analog input may be supplied to one of the source and the drain of the transistor, and the back gate may receive a back gate voltage having a value that is lower than ground.

    摘要: An ADC, comprising an internal DAC, driven by a successive approximation SAR, and a comparator, is provided with a correction logic circuit that controls the execution of a verifying and correcting routine at the end of each conversion routine. Master-Slave cells that compose the SAR are provided with a dedicated circuitry, responding to said correction control circuit, for confirming, incrementing or decrementing the bit stored in the cell by at least an LSB. An extremely simple routine, performed at the end of each conversion cycle, permits to correct incorrectly converted digital data because of the occurrence of missing codes in the internal DAC. The corrector does not require the use of memories and/or analog circuits and is very cost-effective and permits to greatly improve production yield of complex devices containing ADCs.

    摘要: Dans un convertisseur analogique-numérique (CAN) à cascade, un premier CAN (1) détermine les bits de poids supérieurs. Pour déterminer les bits de poids inférieurs, dans un deuxième CAN (4), il faut faire la différence entre le signal analogique d'entrée (V E ) et sa partie déjà numérisée, reconvertie en analogique.
    Le soustracteur-amplificateur reçoit d'une part le signal d'entrée (V E ), qui est transformé en un courant (i E ), et d'autre part les bits de poids supérieurs (S₄ à S₇) sur un convertisseur numérique-analogique. Ceci constitue une source modulable qui fournit un courant (i c ). Deux transistors en parallèle (E et A) font la différenciation entre le courant de la source modulable (i c ) et le courant (i E ) correspondant au signal d'entrée (V E ) et l'amplifient.
    Application aux CAN à cascade.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for converting radiant energy levels to digital data wherein an image sensor is provided having at least one row of sensor elements each including a light sensitive capacitor and an access switch and which changes state and produces a corresponding binary output signal when a predetermined charge threshold is exceeded by the capacitor whose charge is a function of intensity and period of an illumination. The row of elements is first calibrated by illuminating same with a reference light source and sensing at a first frequency (F) such that approximately one half of the elements change state and counting the digital output signals corresponding to the changes of state to obtain a first number (B). Thereafter, the row is illuminated with an unknown light source which has a lower radiant energy level than that of the reference light source and senses at a frequency F/2. The digital output signals corresponding to the changes of state are counted to obtain a second number (A). The numbers A and B are compared to produce a digital "1" signal when A > B and a digital "0" when A 1 . The sensing and comparing are repeated for each successive bit N 2 , N 3 ...N k of a K bits of digital data at successive sensing frequencies in accordance with
