Abstract: A pipeline/subranging architecture is used to provide a circuit for analog to a digital conversion. A course analog to digital converter, a fine analog to digital to converter, combining logic circuitry and a digital to analog converter are used, together with a voltage to current converter and a current to voltage converter. A residual signal is formed as the difference between the input signal and an output signal of the coarse analog to digital conversion, the latter output signal having been converted to analog form by the analog to digital converter. The residual signal is then scaled appropriately and applied to the fine analog to digital converter. A final output signal is based on the output signals of the coarse digital to analog converter and the fine digital to analog converter.

Abstract: Consistent with an example embodiment there is a method for controlling a deceleration process of a DC motor, wherein the DC motor is driven by a bridge driver coupled to a power supply intended to provide a supply voltage VDD at a power supply output. The method comprises applying a deceleration PWM signal to the bridge driver for decelerating the DC motor, and controlling the bridge driver such that a motor-induced back current is reduced, if the voltage at the power supply output exceeds a first voltage threshold which is higher than VDD. In accordance with the example embodiment, the method includes the following: if the voltage at the power supply output falls below a second voltage threshold which is lower than the first voltage threshold, control of the bridge driver is terminated such that the motor-induced back current is reduced.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the field of photovoltaic systems with solar cell (s) or modules having insolation differences or mismatch. Each solar module is formed by placing a large number of solar cells in series. The PV system is then formed by placing a number of solar modules in series in a string and sometimes by placing multiple strings of series-connected solar modules in parallel, depending on the desired output voltage and power range of the PV system. In practical cases, differences will exist between output powers of the solar cells in the various modules, e.g. due to (part of) the modules being temporarily shaded, pollution on one or more solar cells, or even spread in solar-cell behaviour that may become worse during aging. Due to the current-source-type behaviour of solar cells and their series connection these differences will lead to a relatively large drop in output power coming from the PV system. This invention addresses this problem by adding DC-DC converters (803) on a single or multiple solar-cell level that source or sink difference currents thereby increasing the output power of the complete PV system. In embodiments, the efficiency of photovoltaic systems with solar cell (s) or modules is improved by compensating for output-power loss caused by insolation difference and mismatch.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method for controlling a deceleration process of a DC motor (20), wherein the DC motor (20) is driven by a bridge driver (18) coupled to a power supply (12) intended to provide a supply voltage VDD at a power supply output (14), the method comprising the following steps: applying a deceleration PWM signal to the bridge driver (18) for decelerating the DC motor (20), and controlling the bridge driver (18) such that a motor-induced back current is reduced, if the voltage at the power supply output (14) exceeds a voltage threshold which is higher than VDD. In accordance with the invention the step of controlling the bridge driver (18) such that a motor-induced back current is reduced, if the voltage at the power supply output (14) exceeds a voltage threshold which is higher than VDD comprises: if the voltage at the power supply output exceeds the voltage threshold, changing stepwise the pulse width of the deceleration PWM signal in a first direction until the voltage at the power supply (14) output reaches or falls below the voltage threshold, and then, if the voltage at the power supply output (14) has fallen below the voltage threshold, changing stepwise the pulse width of the deceleration PWM signal in a second direction opposite to the first direction until the voltage at the power supply output (14) again reaches or exceeds the voltage threshold. The invention is also directed to a controller suitable to carry out the above method.

Abstract: An analog to digital converter comprises a first stage for developing a set of most significant bits from an analog input signal and for producing analog residue signals (RA, RB) corresponding to respective differences between the analog input signal and threshold values directly above and below, respectively, the analog input signal, and a second stage (AMPA, AMPB, ADC2) for developing a set of lesser significant bits from the analog residue signals (RA, RB). According to the invention, the analog residue signals (RA, RB) are reversed (CA, CB). An offset detection unit (COD, DOD) coupled to the second stage (AMPA, AMPB, ADC2) retrieves offset data representative of offset errors, and an offset correction unit (AD1, AD2, OCA, OCB) corrects the offset errors on the basis of the offset data.
