Abstract: A self-adaptive SAR ADC techniques that can increase speed and/or decrease its power consumption. In some example approaches, one or more bits from a conversion of a previous sample of an analog input signal can be preloaded onto a DAC circuit of the ADC. If the preloaded bits are determined to be acceptable, bit trials on the current sample can be performed to determine the remaining bits. If not acceptable, the ADC can discard the preloaded bits and perform bit trials on all of the bits. The self-adaptive SAR ADC can include a control loop to adjust, e.g., increase or decrease, the number of bits that are preloaded in a subsequent bit trial using historical data.

Abstract: Modular temperature tracking techniques can be used to estimate internal battery temperatures of battery packs. For example, an electric vehicle can contain a plurality of battery packs. Battery packs of electric vehicles can be composed of several modules each of which may contain multiple batteries in series. A plurality of independent temperature trackers for each cell can be used instead of a single large estimator.
