    摘要: The described converter comprises switched-capacitor quantization means (DAC, COMP) for receiving an analog quantity to be converted (VIN), a register (REG) for a digital quantity corresponding to the analog quantity, a timing pulse generator (CLK-GEN) and logic means (LOG) capable of responding to a conversion request signal (CONVREQ) by activating the quantization means in such a way that they will carry out predetermined operations timed by the timing pulses and load in the register (REG) the digital quantity to be furnished as output (OUTBUS). With a view to saving electric energy during the conversion and reducing the noise induced by the generator, the generator (CLK-GEN) comprises means for modifying the duration and/or the frequency of the timing pulses in response to regulation signals (REGBUS0, REGBUS1) emitted by the logic means.
    Also described is a method of using the converter that comprises the following phases: loading of the analog quantity (VIN) in the quantization means (DAC, COMP), memorization of the loaded analog quantity and identification in the course of successive attempts in accordance with SAR technique of the bits of the digital code corresponding to the analog quantity to be converted. The duration and/or the frequency of the timing pulses are modified during at least one of the phases indicated above in response to regulation signals emitted by the logic means (LOG).

    摘要: The circuit comprises a first ring oscillator (OSC1) comprising an odd number of inverting elements, a delay element (DA) and an output terminal (N); the delay element (DA) responds to a pulse at its input (IN-DA) with a predetermined time delay (d(DA)) with respect to a predetermined edge of the input pulse and substantially without time delay with respect to the other edge of the input pulse. With a view to avoiding start-up transients and generating pulses with a duty cycle that can be easily modified, the circuit comprises a second ring oscillator (OSC2) equal to the first, having an output terminal connected to the output terminal (N) of the first oscillator, and a bistable logic circuit having an output terminal connected to the common output (N) of the first and the second oscillator. At least one of the inverting elements of the first oscillator (OSC1) and at least one of the inverting elements of the second oscillator (OSC2) form part of the bistable logic circuit.
