    Abstract: A reference circuit may include a bandgap reference stage, a filter stage, and a buffer stage. The reference stage may be configured to generate a reference voltage or current. The filter stage may be coupled to the reference stage and may be configured to receive the reference voltage or current, filter noise from the reference voltage or current, receive a buffer output voltage or current, and filter noise from the buffer output voltage or current. The buffer stage may be coupled to the filter stage and may be configured to isolate the reference stage and the filter stage from a loading effect of a load circuit and generate a reference signal based on the reference voltage or current to drive the load circuit.

    Abstract: A successive approximation register analog to digital converter (SAR ADC) is disclosed. The SAR ADC receives an input voltage and a plurality of reference voltages. The SAR ADC includes a charge sharing DAC. The charge sharing DAC includes an array of MSB (most significant bit) capacitors and an array of LSB (least significant bit) capacitors. A zero crossing detector is coupled to the charge sharing DAC. The zero crossing detector generates a digital output. A coarse ADC (analog to digital converter) receives the input voltage and generates a coarse output. A predefined offset is added to a residue of the coarse ADC. A successive approximation register (SAR) state machine is coupled to the coarse ADC and the zero crossing detector and, generates a plurality of control signals. The plurality of control signals operates the charge sharing DAC in a sampling mode, an error-correction mode and a conversion mode.

    Abstract: A delta sigma modulator with an input stage and an output stage. The input stage receives an analog input signal and an output of a first digital to analog converter (DAC). The input stage generates a processed error signal. An additional summation device receives the processed error signal. The output stage receives an output of the additional summation device and generates a delayed digital output signal. A differentiator and the first digital to analog converter (DAC) receive the delayed digital output signal as a feedback signal. A second DAC receives an output of the differentiator and provides an output to an additional negative feedback coefficient multiplier. The additional summation device receives an output of the additional negative feedback coefficient multiplier.
