Abstract:
A device is provided comprising a first oscillator based analog-to-digital converter configured to receive an analog input signal and output a first digital signal and a second oscillator based analog-to-digital converter configured to receive an analog reference signal and output a second digital signal. The device further comprises output logic configured to generate a digital output signal based on the first digital signal and the second digital signal.
Abstract:
Representative implementations of devices and techniques provide analog to digital conversion of time-discrete analog inputs. A redundant binary scaled capacitance arrangement using a successive approximation technique can provide a fast and power efficient ADC, with improved error correction. For example, a successive approximation capacitor arrangement may include multiple arrays of capacitances with binary bit weights. In an implementation, the technique includes processing the capacitances in successive cycles, where each cycle generates a binary error correction code representing greater than one bit of the digital output.
Abstract:
Devices, systems, and methods for spread spectrum clock generation are disclosed. The devices, systems, and methods generate a clock signal at a frequency and generate a voltage output based on the frequency of the clock signal, wherein the generated voltage output is indicative of the frequency of the generated clock signal. The devices, systems, and methods also compare the frequency of the clock signal generated to a desired frequency output by comparing the generated voltage output to a voltage reference and adjust the frequency of the clock signal generated based on the results of the comparison.
