    摘要: Series of first ramps and second ramps are generated. A circuit delivers a first signal representative of the comparison of each first ramp with a set point and delivers a second signal representative of the comparison of each second ramp with the set point. Based on the first and second signals: a first ramp is stopped and a second ramp is started when the first ramp reaches the set point, and a second ramp is stopped and a first ramp is started when the second ramp reaches the set point. The value of the set point is modulated in response a maximum value of the first/second last ramp compared with the set point.

    摘要: An improved ramp generator enables a very high degree of linearity in an output voltage ramp signal. Output ramps of the output voltage ramp signal are alternatingly produced from two preliminary ramp signals during alternating time periods. Preliminary ramps are produced at different preliminary ramp nodes that are alternatingly connected to an output node. The preliminary ramps continuously ramp during and in some cases beyond, e.g., before and/or after, the time periods. In some embodiments, switches alternatingly connect two capacitors to at least one current source, a reset voltage source, and the output node to alternatingly produce the preliminary ramps.
