    摘要: SAR analog-to-digital converter with abort function. A method for increasing the throughput of a data converter decision is disclosed. First, a data conversion operation is initiated to convert analog signals on an analog input on a data converter to digital data by sampling the analog signals on the analog signal input and then converting the sampled analog signals to digital data with a predetermined data conversion algorithm in a data conversion operation. The digital output of the data converter is compared to a threshold voltage value. When the output of the data converter is determined by the step of comparing to meet a predetermined relationship relative to the threshold voltage, the data conversion operation is terminated prior to the complete execution of the data conversion operation on the sampled analog signals.

    摘要: Method and apparatus for combining outputs of multiple DACs for increased bit resolution. A method for providing an increased bit resolution to a data converter operable to convert digital information to analog values. A first current Digital-to-Analog (IDAC) converter is controlled to provide current to a first output node, the first IDAC having a first current step size associated with the Least Significant Bit (LSB) thereof. A second IDAC is controlled to provide current to the first output node, the second IDAC having a second current step size associated with the LSB thereof that is smaller than the first current step size. The combination of the first and second IDACs increases the bit resolution of the first IDAC when driving the first output node with the second IDAC.
