    摘要: A set of sampling capacitors weighted according to a binary code is charged through a first capacitive unit, whose capacitance is equal to the sum of the capacitances of the set, at a voltage Vcm−Vin/2. The conversion is carried out by an SAR process by a comparator and a logic unit which operates the switches associated with the capacitors. The final position of the switches is loaded into a register which supplies the digital output signal. To prevent any disturbances in the power supply and reference potential sources from affecting the accuracy of the conversion, two further capacitive units are provided, with the same capacitance as the first capacitive unit. These make it possible to prevent all the disturbances at the input of the comparator in common mode and therefore without any effect on the output.

    摘要: In a switched operational amplifier including a differential input stage and at least a second output stage, the compensation capacitor commonly required to couple the output node of the second stage with the respective output node of the input differential stage of the amplifier is associated with a switching circuit. The switching circuit is controlled by the same control phase that enables/disables the amplifier for interrupting the connection between the compensation capacitor (CC) and the output node of the differential input stage during a phase in which the amplifier is disabled for reducing the switch-on time. Notably the differential input stage of the operational amplifier remains always active and only the second output stage is switched on and off.

    摘要: The electronic device and a corresponding signal processing method disclosed herein reduces electromagnetic noise. To that end, the electronic device includes a delay line, an oscillator, and a modulator. The delay line generates a spread spectrum clock signal from an input clock signal, where a timing jitter and a period of jitter of the spread spectrum clock signal are controlled at each period of the spread spectrum clock signal based on a digital code. The oscillator uses the spread spectrum clock signal to generate a processing signal. The modulator modulates the processing signal as a function of an audio signal.
