Abstract: Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing a novel integrated programmable gain amplifier (“PGA”) and protection circuit. In various embodiments, a circuit is provided that comprises: a PGA, an analog-to-digital converter (“ADC”), and a protection circuit all disposed on the same semiconductor chip. The PGA is configured to receive as input a wireless signal received from an antenna and to output, at its output, an amplified wireless signal based on the wireless signal being amplified by a programmable gain amount. The protection circuit is configured to, in response to detecting a spike in gain at the output of the PGA that exceeds a threshold amplitude, control a decrease in the programmable gain amount to cause a resultant signal at the output of the PGA to be below the threshold amplitude. A normally-open switch may also be added at differential outputs of the PGA to further clamp PGA output.

Abstract: Systems and methods are related to a successive approximation analog to digital converter (SAR ADC). In one aspect, a method includes sampling, by a sample and digital to analog conversion (DAC) circuit, an input voltage to obtain a sampled voltage. The method also includes determining, by a comparator coupled to a set of storage circuits, a state of a plurality of bits corresponding to the sampled voltage. The comparator has a current parameter or voltage parameter adjusted based upon a conversion margin. Adjustment of the current parameter or the voltage parameter affects speed of determining the state of the bits. The method also includes storing the bits in the set of storage circuits. In some aspects, an SAR ADC is configured to perform the method.
