Abstract: A device is provided for time measurement of a clock-based signal comprising a sample stage comprising a switching device that is driven by a control signal and a capacitance (Cs), wherein the sample stage is arranged to transform an analog input signal in an analog output signal, the device further comprising an analog-to-digital converter to convert the analog output signal into a digital output signal, wherein the input signal applied to the sample stage is a reference signal and wherein the clock-based signal is applied to the control signal. Also, an according method is suggested.

Abstract: According to an example, an electronic device includes a component, a supply line providing a supply voltage, a transistor with a control input, a linear first control loop, and a non-linear second control loop. The transistor outputs an output voltage to the component depending on a signal applied to the control input. The linear first control loop includes an ADC to convert an analog output voltage level into a digital measurement signal, a controller to generate a digital control signal for the transistor depending on the digital measurement signal, and a DAC to convert the digital control signal into a first analog control signal. The non-linear second control loop is configured to generate a second analog control signal depending on the analog output voltage level. The second analog control signal is superimposed with the first analog control signal and the combined control signals are fed to the control input of the transistor.

Abstract: Processing a resolver signal by a microcontroller includes generating, by a carrier signal generator, a carrier signal for output to a resolver; receiving modulated carrier signals from a resolver via hardware that is external to the microcontroller; integrating, by an integrator, respective integrator input signals which are based on the modulated carrier signals, to generate respective envelope signals, wherein a start of an integration window of the integrator is set with respect to a start of the carrier signal; and determining an angular position sensed by the resolver based on the envelope signals.

Abstract: A calibration circuit, including: a first analog-to-digital converter (ADC) configured to sample a nonlinear reference signal continuously at an equidistant sampling rate to generate a reference sampled signal; a trigger timer configured to generate trigger signals; a second ADC configured to sample a point of each of the nonlinear reference signal and repeated versions of the nonlinear reference signal in response to the respective trigger signals at equidistantly increasing delays, to generate a device-under-test (DUT) sampled voltage; and processing circuitry configured to estimate a differential nonlinearity (DNL) of the DUT sampled signal, estimate a DNL of the reference sampled signal, and compare the estimated DNL of the DUT sampled signal with the estimated DNL of the reference sampled signal, to generate a DNL performance indication signal of the second ADC.
