    摘要: Electronic circuitry comprising a data processing circuit for processing a digital signal (DS), such as a digital to analog converter (DAC), and a current compensation circuit (CMP). Both the digital to analog converter (DAC) and the current compensation circuit (CMP) are powered by a single power supply (U1). The current taken from the power supply (U1) by the digital to analog converter (DAC) is normally dependent on the digital input signal (DS). This would lead to distortion since the loss-resistances (Rl1, Rl2) which are always present in series with the power supply (U1) then feed a data-dependent supply voltage (U2) to the digital to analog converter (DAC). This problem is overcome by the addition of the current compensation circuit (CMP) which is coupled for receiving the digital signal (DS). The current compensation circuit (CMP) is arranged in such a way that the sum of the data-dependent current drawn by the digital to analog converter (DAC) and the data-dependent current drawn by the compensation circuit (CMP) is substantially independent of the data.

    摘要: A method of canceling noise in analog circuits is described along with noise cancellation circuits. Analog circuits are sensitive to noise. Especially in mixed signal environments where digital circuits and analog circuits are combined, the noise generated by relatively noisy digital circuits often cause the analog circuits to produce incorrect output signals. Instead of shielding or separating the susceptible analog circuits from noisy digital circuits, additional circuitry is added where one of the added circuits, denoted as the noise separator circuit, produce only the noise component of the output signal, the first output, of the analog circuit adversely affected by the noise. Then, another circuit is used to subtract the noise from the first output, thereby producing a noise-free output signal. Alternatively, the noise separator circuit can be made to produce the inverse of the first output, including the inverse of the noise. Then, the first output and the inverse output can be added and halved to produce the desired, noise-free output.

    摘要: Apparatus and method are disclosed for successive approximation analog-to-digital conversion of a variable analog input voltage to digital form by periodic sampling thereof, using a comparator to compare the relative values of the analog input voltage amplitude in a predetermined time interval and the upper limit of a reference voltage range which is successively adjusted until it closely approximates the digital value of the sampled analog input voltage in that time interval. The successive adjustment is performed by a successive approximation register which has an odd number of multiple stages, at least three, for each digital significant bit representing the upper limit of the reference voltage range to be used in the comparison. The accuracy and reliability of this upper limit is refined by using as the value of each significant bit the majority of its value in the multiple stages. After a number of comparisons that fixes the majority value of each significant bit, the resulting succession of the significant bits becomes the digital conversion of the analog input voltage in the respective time interval.

    摘要: Link capacitors are used to establish connection between joining-points of coupling capacitors and inverters in an inverter chopper comparator array, in order to reduce injected electric charge variation due to feedthrough. Some of the comparators in the comparator array, arranged at each end thereof, constitute a redundant comparator array without connection to a logic circuit that is used to obtain an A/D conversion output. This reduces the effects of the device parameter variations in the comparator array, whereby a high accuracy voltage comparison is achieved, and noise-resistant strength is improved.

    摘要: A digital-to-analog (D/A) converter eliminates matching requirements and does not generate harmonics or noise. The D/A converter has an array of injectors for converting an input word to an analog voltage. A plurality of clocked switches discharge the injector array and the feedback path when switched into a first phase position and transfer the injector signal across the feedback path to the output of the D/A converter when switched to a second phase position. The conversion period, the time in which the digital input word is converted to an analog output voltage, is divided into N-1 subperiods. Each injector is enabled once or not at all for each subperiod such that the weighted signal injected during a single conversion period is constant and such that all the injectors in the array contribute an equal amount of signal during a conversion period.

    摘要: Purpose
    To guarantee a high conversion speed and resolution while greatly reducing the number of circuit elements.
    Constitution
    The A/D converter shown in Figure 1 is a 6-bit resolution flash A/D converter made up of a 3-bit lower A/D conversion section and a 3-bit upper A/D conversion section. This lower A/D conversion section has a stage 1 comparator section 10, containing a specified number of comparators which compare the analog signal to comparison reference voltages of differing values, stepped in equal increments, an adder 12 which combines, in a specified relationship, the outputs from each of the comparators in this stage 1 comparator section 10 and adds them in each group, a second comparator section 14 which combines, in a specified relationship, the specified number of addition results from this adder 12 into pairs and compares these pairs, and a pre-encoder 16, which converts the specified number of comparison results obtained by second comparator section 14 into 8 binary logical outputs which can be interpreted by lower encoder 18.
