Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention may provide a system with a first and second circuit system separated by an electrical isolation barrier but provided in communication by at least one isolator device that bridges the isolation barrier. The first circuit system may include a communication system to transmit data across a common isolator device as a series of pulses, and the second circuit system may receive the series of pulses corresponding to the data. The second circuit system may include a detector coupled to the common isolator device to detect the received pulses, a oneshot to frame the received pulse(s), and a controller to reconstruct the data based on accumulated framed pulse(s). Therefore, noise induced spurious pulses outside the oneshot intervals may be ignored by the second circuit system providing improved noise immunity.

Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) circuit including error correction circuitry for correcting offset drifts in an ADC, such as a successive approximation register (SAR) ADC. The offset drifts can be reduced, such as by sampling the offset following an analog-to-digital conversion and subsequently providing an error correction signal based on the sampled offset.

Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) system can sample an input voltage for at least a first conversion into a first N1-bit digital value and to use the same input voltage sample for at least a second conversion into a second N2-bit digital value. A difference between a result of the first conversion and a result of the second conversion can be driven toward zero to adjust weights of one or more of the bits to calibrated values for use in one or more subsequent analog-to-digital conversions of subsequent samples of the input voltage. Shuffling, dithering, or the like can help ensure that at least a portion of the decision paths used in the second conversion are different from the decision paths used in the first conversion. Calibration can be performed in the background while the the ADC is converting in a normal mode of operation.

Abstract: Various techniques that can provide a capability to background calibrate ADC linearity error, e.g., due to capacitor mismatch drift and other parameter drift, during normal ADC operation in which analog-to-digital signal conversions are ongoing. A method can include grouping capacitors of an ADC into multiple clusters and calibrating under an arbitrary signal condition. To quickly converge the calibration result, the same arbitrary signal can be converted twice, and the capacitor(s) being calibrated can be modulated after first conversion. The difference between the results of the first and second conversions can contain the error information that can be used for calibration, and the signal component can be removed by this process. These techniques can provide improved linearity at 20-bit level and beyond.

Abstract: A signal acquisition or conditioning amplifier can be configured and controlled to use correlated doubling sampling (CDS) of a differential input signal, and a storage capacitor in a capacitive or other feedback network, a low power operational transconductance amplifier (OTA) capable of being powered down between CDS samplings, and which can be operated in a manner that provides good performance characteristics while still providing low or efficient power consumption. The amplifier and other signal processing circuitry can allow power to be scaled down, when less signal measurement throughput is needed, and to be scaled up, when more signal measurement throughput is needed. Such flexibility can help make the present approach useful for a wide range of signal acquisition and measurement applications. Precharging via buffer amplifiers can provide improved signal acquisition circuitry effective input impedance.

Abstract: An isolator system is disclosed in which a pair of circuit systems is separated by an isolation barrier but engage in mutual communication by an isolator device that bridges the isolation barrier. A first circuit system may include a measurement system generating measurement data and status monitor generating status data. The first circuit system also may include a communication system that multiplexes the measurement data and the status data for transmission across a common isolator device. In this manner, the number of isolator devices may be reduced over conventional designs.
