Abstract:
A neural network circuit having a plurality of analog-to-digital multipliers generates an analog product-sum voltage corresponding to the sum of charge signals of each of the analog-to-digital multipliers.
Abstract:
Provided is a sensor terminal including a sensor element, the sensor terminal further including: an ADC that converts an analog signal output from a sensor element into a digital signal; a storage device in which a plurality of first storage setting numbers being information for controlling the ADC and a plurality of pieces of first characteristic information including description of operation of the ADC are stored in association with each other; and a communication device that receives a first reception setting number from the outside of the sensor terminal, and transmits the first characteristic information corresponding to the first storage setting number that coincides with the first reception setting number, to the outside of the sensor terminal.
Abstract:
The resolution of a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter is varied in a wide range. Provided is a successive approximation analog-to-digital converter including a digital-to-analog converter that generates an analog voltage based on a digital code, a comparator to which the analog voltage as the output of the digital-to-analog converter is inputted, a DAC control circuit that generates the digital code of an input voltage sampled from an external clock signal by successively changing the digital code based on the output of the comparator, a delay circuit that starts the determination of the comparator by signal transition generated by delaying the signal state change of the output of the comparator, a clock generation circuit that generates a signal starting the determination of the comparator, and a selector circuit that selects a signal generated by the delay circuit or a signal generated by the clock generation circuit to feed the selected signal to the comparator.
Abstract:
A reference A/D conversion unit is connected in parallel to an input common to a time-interleaved A/D converter to be a calibration target, and the output of each unitary A/D conversion unit which makes up the time-interleaved A/D converter is calibrated in a digital region by using a low-speed high-resolution A/D conversion result output from the reference A/D conversion unit. Also, fCLK/N (fCLK represents an overall sampling rate of the time-interleaved A/D converter, and N is relatively prime to the number of unitary A/D conversion units connected in parallel M) is set as the operation clock frequency of the reference A/D conversion unit. Samplings of all unitary A/D conversion units can be sequentially synchronized with the sampling of the reference A/D conversion unit, and the operation clock frequency of the reference A/D converter can be made N times slower than the overall sampling rate of the time-interleaved A/D converter.
