摘要: A pipeline ADC architecture with suitable feedback can implement noise shaping. By feeding back the residue generated by the last residue generating stage to selected locations in the pipeline ADC, the delays in a pipeline ADC can create a finite impulse response (FIR) filtered version of the quantization error. The FIR filtered quantization error is added to the signal and evaluated by the pipeline ADC, which results in spectral shaping of the quantization noise. Unlike a conventional pipeline ADC, the output of the backend stage is scaled and filtered by a noise transfer function (NTF) of the residue generating stages prior to combining the output with other outputs of the pipeline ADC. The processing of the shaped quantization noise by the backend stage results in further noise suppression.

摘要: During operation of a SAR ADC, it is possible to exceed the voltage limits of a comparator by presenting voltages at the comparator input that exceed a limited range of acceptable input voltages. The present disclosure provides a system and method such as for delivering a common mode compensation voltage such that voltages present at the comparator inputs can be within the limited range of acceptable input voltages.

摘要: A method of performing analog-to-digital conversion using a successive approximation (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC). A previous digital output is compared to a range based on the first M bits of the previous digital output. If the previous digital output is within that range, a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) of the SAR ADC is preloaded with the first M bits of the previous digital output, prior to commencing bit trials. If the previous digital output is outside of that range, an offset is applied to the first M bits of the previous digital output and the DAC is preloaded based on the M bits and the offset, prior to performing bit trials. This method reduces the possibility of the next input being outside of a further range defined by the preload.

摘要: Systems and methods disclosed herein provide for enhancing the low frequency (DC) gain of an operational amplifier with multiple correlated level shifting capacitors. In an embodiment, the operational amplifier is level shifted with a first correlated level shifting capacitor in a first phase and, then, is level shifted again with at least a second correlated level shifting capacitor in at least a second, non-overlapping, consecutive phase. In an embodiment, the multiple correlated level capacitors are controlled by a switching circuit network.
