    摘要: A non-inverting, inverting, delayed non-inverting, and delayed inverting non-overlapping clock signal is provided by a non-overlapping clock generator circuit (41, 61). The non-overlapping clock generator circuit (41, 61) increases time for circuit operation by minimizing delays between non-overlapping clock signals and simultaneously transitioning rising edges of clock signals. A non-overlapping clock generation circuit (41) comprises six NOR gates (43-48) and an inverter (42). Three NOR gates form a first delay line (43-45) and the remaining three NOR gates form a second delay line (46-48). The inverter (42) provides an inverted clock signal to the second delay line. A clock signal propagates through one delay line while the other delay line is non-responsive due to a feedback signal from the active delay line. Once the clock signal has propagated through the active delay line, the feedback signal changes and allows NOR gates of the remaining delay line to simultaneously provide a clock signal and a delayed clock signal.

    摘要: A common-mode sensing circuit (504) of a clocked differential amplifier (602) includes a refresh circuit (604) which precharges a capacitance during a first clock phase (P.sub.1) and discharges the capacitance to drive the outputs (514, 516) of the differential amplifier (602) to a desired common-mode voltage (V.sub.AGO) during a second clock phase, which increases the output loading during the second clock phase (P.sub.2). A load balancing circuit (606) selectively switches a load to the outputs (514, 516) during the first clock phase (P.sub.1) to match the load produced by the refresh circuit (604) during the second clock phase (P.sub.2).

    摘要: RSD n-bit analog-to-digital converter (10) receives voltage VIN that is compared to reference voltages VH and VL in the first stage (18). A digital code, representing VIN, is generated at first stage outputs (24, 26). First stage residue voltage V22 is compared to VH and VL in the second stage (30). A digital code generated at the outputs (28, 32) of the second stage, represent residue voltage V22. Residue voltage V22 is recycled through the first and second stages. Upon reaching the n.sup.th conversion bit, residue voltage V22 of the n.sup.th -1 bit is compared to second stage mid-level voltage reference VMID. A digital code generated at the outputs of the second stage represents the n.sup.th -1 bit residue voltage V22. The digital codes are stored in storage elements (34) and added in a binary adder (38) to provide the n-bit representation of VIN.

    摘要: A switchable current source (41) for a Digital to Analog Converter (DAC) to reduce noise glitches when a change in total current provided by the DAC occurs. The switchable current source (41) is one of many required by a DAC to convert a digital signal to an analog signal. Each current source of the DAC receives an input voltage that enables or disables the current source from providing or not providing a current. A sampled input voltage is alternately provided to the switchable current source (41) by a first flip flop (42) or a second flip flop (43). One flip flop samples the input voltage while the other provides a previous sampled input voltage for enabling and disabling the switchable current source (41). Switches (46,47) couple an output voltage of the first or second flip flops (42,43) a predetermined time after the output voltage changes to a transistor (51) coupled to a current source (53).

    摘要: Comparator circuit (72) samples a differential input signal at switched capacitor circuit (100). The input signal is stored across capacitors (128, 130, 132, 134). Reference voltages are subtracted from the input signal to produce a difference signal. The difference is compared to a mid-supply reference VMID, and an amplified representation of the signal is produced at the output of differential gain stage (136). Latching output stage (138) uses feedback circuits (204, 211 and 202, 208) to process the amplified signal and to produce a rail to rail representation of the amplified signal at the inputs (146, 148) of SR latch (140). The feedback circuit also powers-down the output stage after processing the amplified signal. Buffer circuits (205, 213 and 214, 212) allow a new signal to be processed by capacitor circuit (100) while the previous signal is being stored in the SR latch.
