A sample hold circuit and a method for sampling and holding a signal are provided. The sample hold circuit includes a sample unit, a direct current (DC) voltage elimination unit, and a hold unit. When the sample hold circuit is in a first state, the sample unit samples an input signal, and the DC voltage elimination unit lowers a predetermined percentage of the DC voltage in the input signal sampled by the sample unit. When the sample hold circuit is in a second state, the DC voltage elimination unit eliminates the residual percentage of the DC voltage, and the hold unit outputs the alternating current (AC) signal in the input signal sampled by the sample unit.

A sample hold circuit and a method for eliminating the offset voltage of the analog signal are provided. The sample hold circuit includes a sample unit, a plurality of capacitors, a control unit and a hold unit. When the sample hold circuit is in a first state, the sample unit samples an analog signal. When the sample hold circuit is in a second state, the capacitors eliminate a DC offset voltage of the analog signal sampled by the sample unit, and the hold unit outputs an AC signal of the analog signal sampled by the sample unit. The control unit adjusts a number of the capacitances coupled to a common voltage according to a magnitude of the DC offset voltage, thus to determine the capacitance for eliminating the DC offset voltage.

An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for pipelined ADCs or cyclic ADCs is disclosed. The ADC includes at least one pair of two stages connected in series, and the two stages have different bits of resolution. An amplifier is shared by the pair of two stages such that the two stages operate in an interleaved manner. Accordingly, this stage-resolution scalable opamp-sharing technique is adaptable for pipelined ADC or cyclic ADC, which substantially reduces power consumption and increases operating speed.

A current-mode differential transmitter, receiving a single-end input voltage signal and accordingly generating a differential output current signal, is provided. The transmitter includes a first switch, a second switch and a current mirror. The first switch is coupled in a first current path and controlled by the single-end input voltage signal. The second switch is coupled in a second current path and controlled by an inverted signal of the single-end input voltage signal. The current mirror mirrors a reference current to the first current path when the first switch is turned on, and mirrors the reference current to the second current path when the second switch is turned on. The differential output current signal is derived from the currents on the first and second current paths.

A successive approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is disclosed. A first and second capacitor DACs receive a first and second input signals respectively. A first coarse comparator compares an output of the first capacitor DAC with a window reference voltage, a second coarse comparator compares an output of the second capacitor DAC with the window reference voltage, and a fine comparator compares the output of the first capacitor DAC with the output of the second capacitor DAC. A SAR controller receives outputs of the first and second coarse comparators to determine whether the outputs of the first and second capacitor DACs are within a predictive window determined by the window reference voltage. The SAR controller bypasses at least one phase of analog-to-digital conversion of the SAR ADC when the outputs of the first capacitor DAC and the second capacitor DAC are determined to be within the predictive window. The SAR controller decodes the outputs of the first and second coarse comparators and the fine comparator to obtain a converted output of the SAR ADC.

An audio amplifier includes a timing control circuit, an amplifying circuit, and a bias control circuit. The timing control circuit generates a first power down signal and a second power down signal, in which the first power down signal is asserted before the second power down signal is asserted. The amplifying circuit receives a bias voltage to amplify an audio signal and is deactivated when the first power down signal is asserted. The bias control circuit provides the bias voltage for the amplifying circuit and is deactivated when the second power down signal is asserted.
