摘要: The present invention pertains to a high-speed successive approximation analog-to-digital converter of two bits per circle, includes three switches, two capacitor arrays, three comparators, an encoding circuit, a first switch array corresponding to the first capacitor array, a second switch array corresponding to the second capacitor array, a shifting register and a digital correction unit. The analog-to-digital converter, featuring doubled speed, realizes a successive approximation process without any fault when a high-bit large capacitor is unsettled. Thus no redundancy bit capacitor is required to compensate for unsettled pre-stage large capacitor. By using the encoding circuit, a thermometer code is converted into a binary code effectively, and inherent errors of comparators are reduced by the randomization of three comparators.

摘要: A comparator offset voltage self-correction circuit is disclosed. A comparator offset voltage which is caused by the semiconductor process parameter randomness also has randomness. Due to the randomness of the comparator offset voltage, a reference voltage of a parallel comparator in a parallel-conversion-type analog-to-digital converter is uncertain. If the comparator offset voltage is large, the parallel-conversion-type analog-to-digital converter may even have a functional error. The comparator offset voltage self-correction circuit provided in the present invention can correct a random offset voltage of a comparator to meet requirements. Therefore, by means of the circuit and a method provided in the present invention, adverse influence of the random offset of the comparator on the function and the performance of the parallel-conversion-type analog-to-digital converter is eliminated, thereby greatly improving the speed and the performance of the analog-to-digital converter, in particular the parallel-conversion-type analog-to-digital converter.

摘要: A high-speed low-power-consumption dynamic comparator includes a latch, an AND gate, a delay unit, and an XNOR gate. According to the high-speed low-power-consumption dynamic comparator, the output signal is generated through the XNOR gate from the comparator output signals Dp and Dn. The output signal and the control signal clk1 generate the control signal of the NMOS transistor P10 through the AND gate, so that the problem of static power consumption in a conventional comparator is solved.

摘要: A track and hold circuit comprises an input buffer amplifier, a unit gain amplifier module, a sampling switch, a drive triode and a sampling capacitor. The input buffer amplifier receives an input signal. In a track phase, the sampling switch is electrically connected to an emitter electrode of the drive triode; the input signal charges the sampling capacitor after being buffered by the input buffer amplifier, amplified without distortion by the unit gain amplifier module and driven by the drive triode. In a hold phase, the sampling switch is electrically connected to a base electrode of the drive triode; the base voltage of the drive triode is pulled down until the drive triode is cut off; electrical charges on the sampling capacitor are thereby held, causing the signal to be held on the sampling capacitor.
