To provide a semiconductor device capable of accurately controlling the cycle of an internal clock signal. This semiconductor device, by using signal that is output from a sequence register of an asynchronous successive approximation type ADC when N times of comparison are completed, detects whether or not the signal and its delay signal are output when the period transitions from a comparison period to a sampling period, and generates, on the basis of the detection result, a delay control signal for controlling the cycle of an internal clock signal by controlling the delay times of the delay circuits.
摘要:
Time-Mode Signal Processing (TMSP) offers a means for offsetting some of the challenges for analog circuit designs when exploiting CMOS circuit processes designed for digital applications. It would therefore be beneficial to provide a digital method for the storage, addition and subtraction of Time-Mode variables as these offer significant benefit to providing TMSP techniques and expanding their exploitation within devices, systems, and applications. Whilst driven by CMOS process challenges the TM circuits outlined may exploit essentially any digital circuit technology since they are based upon delay. The inventors present an approach to TM variables wherein a switched delay unit is exploited and adopted such that the instantaneous phase difference between two rising signal edges can be latched and used to perform various arithmetic operations. Beneficially, the technique allows analog sampled-data signal processing to be implemented within digital circuitry.
