    Abstract: An electronic circuit system with an input for receiving an analog signal having a frequency and comprising noise, that noise including input referred noise, and the noise fluctuates in a range. The system also comprises a signal path with: (i) an analog to digital converter for providing a digital output value in response to a clock period; (ii) a feedback node; and (iii) circuitry for limiting a signal swing at the feedback node, during a period of the clock period, to be no greater than an RMS value of the noise. The analog to digital converter is further for providing the digital output value in response to the analog signal and the signal swing at the feedback node.

    Abstract: A calibrated measurement circuit, with a first node, a second node, a circuit element coupled between the first node and the second node, and a reference circuit element. The calibrated measurement circuit also comprises circuitry for directing a first current and a second current between the first node and the second node and to the reference circuit element. The calibrated measurement circuit also comprises circuitry for measuring voltage across the circuit element in response to the first and second currents, and circuitry for measuring voltage across the reference circuit element in response to the first and second currents. A calibration factor is also determined for calibrating measured voltages across the circuit element, in response to a relationship between the first voltage, the second voltage, and the reference circuit element.

    Abstract: One example includes a glitch filter system. The system includes an input stage to receive an input signal, a first output to provide a first digital signal, and a second output to provide a second digital signal. A C-element receives the first digital signal and the second digital signal and provides a third digital signal at a first logic state in response to each of the first and second digital signals having a second logic state opposite the first logic state. An output latch provides an output signal at the second logic state in response to the first logic state of the third digital. The output latch also receives the first and second digital signals to maintain the first logic state of the third digital signal in response to one of the first and second digital signals changing from the second logic state to the first logic state.
