摘要:
An all-differential operational amplifier (20) has a first input (22) and a second input (24) and correspondingly has a first output (26) and a second output (28), fed back on its own input respectively through a first (34) and second (36) impedance which are generally resistive and have identical values. The first output is connected to the second input of the operational amplifier across a third impedance (32). A fourth impedance (30), equal in value to the third impedance, is connected in series to the first input and acts as input terminal of the converter. The resistive components of the impedance can be implemented as switched capacitors.

A charge redistribution analog-to-digital converter is described that permits their ncorporation of offset voltage correction to provide an accurate reflection in the digitalized output signal of the analog input signal. In a distributed capacitor successive approximation device, additional capacitors are added both to a most significant bit array group of capacitors and to a least significant array group of capacitors that are used in conjunction with the offset voltage. The value of the offset voltage is stored in a register and the register determines various switch positions that determine the value of the offset voltage incorporated in the final output voltage.

A voltage multiplier includes a first charge transfer capacitor designed to take and transfer electrical charges from the input terminal to the output terminal, a second capacitor for charge storage connected between the output terminal and ground and an output voltage stabilization circuit. The output voltage stabilization circuit includes an integrator designed to generate a continuous voltage corresponding to the difference between a reference voltage and the output voltage of the voltage multiplier. The continuous voltage is applied to one terminal of said charge transfer capacitor so that the potential at the other terminal of the capacitor changes proportionally to the output voltage of the voltage multiplier.

摘要:
The circuit includes a filter to which an analog signal is applied, a quantizer driven by the filter, a sampler at a desired frequency driven by the quantizer and a PCM encoder driven by the sampler. The quantizer generates a quantize signal according to the received analog signal and further generates a difference signal according to the difference between a quantized signal and the analog signal. A feedback circuit feeds back the difference signal from the quantizer to a stage of the filter so that the overall transfer function from the input of the feedback circuit to the output of the filter is equivalent to a low pass filtering.
摘要:
A high resolution, fully differential, CMOS comparator advantageously employs a single high-gain, "folded cascode", fully differential operational amplifier and an output latch circuit and the output common mode control of the high-gain amplifier is implemented without requiring the use of a conventional control circuit, thus improving layout economy. The common mode control is performed by providing the latch with a differential input stage through which a common mode feedback network is realized which acts upon a pair of output transistors of the operational amplifier for effectively controlling the output common mode thereof. The comparator has a simplified layout and is remarkably faster because it has no additional capacitances loading the outputs of the amplifier.
