The analog digital converting device includes a sub-ADC and a successive approximation ADC. The sub-ADC converts an external analog signal into a first digital signal by using first and second reference voltages. The successive approximation ADC comprises a plurality of bit streams, and converts the external analog signal into a second digital signal according to a successive approximation operation using the first and second reference voltages. The successive approximation ADC receives the first digital signal, and converts the second digital signal in a state where one of the first and second reference voltages has been applied to the bit streams based on the first digital signal.

A phase-locked loop (PLL) circuit including a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) with a variable gain is provided. A phase frequency detector (PFD) detects a phase difference between a reference signal and a PLL feedback signal. A charge pump and a loop filter sequentially process an output signal of the PFD. A VCO has different gains according to a mode transition. A control voltage applied to the VCO is selected from an output signal of the loop filter and an additional control signal according to the mode transition.

Provided are a gain control device and an amplifier using the gain control device. The gain control device includes a first input resistance unit having a first variable resistor whose resistance is linearly variable and a first fixed resistor respectively receiving a first input signal and a second input signal having a sign different from the first input signal and outputting current through a first output terminal, and a second input resistance unit having a second fixed resistor and a second variable resistor whose resistance is linearly variable respectively receiving the first input signal and the second input signal and outputting current through a second output terminal.Since the gain control device can separately perform dB-linear gain control, it is easily combined with a circuit, such as a continuous-time sigma-delta modulator (SDM), a continuous-time filter, and a continuous-time analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and enables miniaturization and low power consumption.

Provided is a band-gap reference voltage generator for low-voltage operation and high precision. The band-gap reference voltage generator minimizes voltage drop by connecting resistors in parallel to bipolar transistors, and cancels temperature dependence by properly adjusting a resistor of an output stage, so that it can provide a stable reference voltage that is unaffected by a change in temperature in spite of a low power supply voltage. Further, the band-gap reference voltage generator minimizes variation of the reference voltage caused by offset noise by switching of input and output voltages at input and output stages of a feedback amplifier, so that it can provide a precise reference voltage.

Provided is an algorithm analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The algorithm ADC obtains two digital outputs through different capacitor connections for one analog input signal and adds the digital output signals to obtain a final output value, so that a mismatch factor of the capacitor is removed to minimize a linearity limitation resulting from the capacitor mismatch. In addition, the algorithm ADC minimizes power consumption by making the operating frequency slow at a cycle requiring a high resolution and making the operating frequency fast at a cycle requiring a low resolution, i.e., outputting different operating clock frequencies according to a required resolution.

There is provided an adaptive loop gain control circuit for a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO). The adaptive loop gain control circuit for a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) includes a detected voltage generating unit which generates a detected voltage signal according to changes in an operating voltage and an operating temperature, and a control circuit unit which outputs an oscillation control current signal according to the detected voltage signal and an input control voltage signal. The adaptive loop gain control circuit for a voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) compensates for an oscillation control current according to changes in operating voltage and temperature and compensates for the gain of a phase locked loop (PLL) system, thereby ensuring high operating stability in the PLL circuit.
