Abstract:
A digital feedforward sigma-delta modulator in an analog-to-digital converter and its modulation method are disclosed. The modulator changes a feedforward path from an analog domain to a digital domain and processes it. The modulator integrates an analog input by using a plurality of integrators, weights them, quantizes them by using a plurality of quantizers in a digital domain to output digital signals, and then adds up the thusly outputted digital signals by using a digital adder. In case of a continuous time digital feedforward sigma-delta modulator (SDM), a digital signal outputted from the digital adder is weighted and then immediately inputted to the digital adder in the digital domain so as to be subtracted, allowing for digital feedforwarding. Because the feedforward signal is processed in the digital domain, the area occupied by an analog circuit and power consumption can be reduced. Also, because signals are added up in the digital domain, a digital output signal can be immediately used when an excess loop delay needs to be corrected. Thus, because there is no need to convert the digital output signal into an analog signal by using a DAC, the DAC can be omitted.
Abstract:
A circuit for processing a touch line signal of a touch screen includes a plurality of sensing read circuits and a switch unit. The plurality of sensing read circuits include sensing read-out units and integrators, respectively. The sensing read-out units are configured to precharge a first sensor capacitor and a second sensor capacitor formed on a touch screen panel with a ground voltage and a supply voltage, allow charges charged in the first sensor capacitor and the second sensor capacitor to be shared, and read-out a charge sharing result obtained by allowing the charges of the first sensor capacitor and the second sensor capacitor to be shared. The integrators are configured to integrate output voltages of the sensing read-out units. The switch unit is configured to sequentially connect output terminals of the plurality of sensing read circuits to an input terminal of an analog-to-digital converter.
