摘要： A digital to analog converter (DAC) incorporates a novel subranging voltage output DAC that delivers high multiplying bandwidth while consuming low power and requires small silicon area. The higher order digital input bits (MSBS) select a voltage range (VMSB) from a first resistor divider DAC network. The VMSB is then applied to the input of a small high speed low power differential input single ended output LSB programmable attenuator amplifier. Transistor follower devices effectively buffer the MSB section to the LSB section and increase bandwidth and speed of operation as well as permitting multichannel sharing of a single precision MSB voltage divider network.

摘要： A current driven span voltage source for use in an analog to digital converter includes a zero reference resistor serially connected with a resistor ladder. A first current source selectively passes a part of a first current through the resistor ladder to establish a span (gain) voltage range, and a second current source selectively passes a part of a second current through the zero reference resistor to establish a zero reference voltage for the span voltage range. The controlled current sources increase speed, reduce power and thermal noise, and improve temperature related performance as compared with voltage driven span and reference sources using operational amplifiers.

摘要： A digital to analog converter employs an operational amplifier as an active summing device for summing a first analog voltage corresponding to most significant bits of a digital value and a second analog voltage corresponding to least significant bits of the digital value. In a multi-channel application, a single MSB DAC can be shared by all channels through first MUXs in each channel with each channel having an independent LSB DAC. Alternatively, a single LSB DAC can be shared by all channels through second MUXs in each channel. Gain of the voltage summing operational amplifier in each channel is determined by values of a resistor connecting the output of the LSB DAC to the inverting negative input of the operational amplifier and of a feedback resistor connecting the amplifier output to the inverting negative input.

摘要： An MOS FET circuit with a summing circuit at the input of an amplifier to provide charge cancellation. The summing circuit is capacitively coupled to the input with a charge cancellation capacitor. A separate amplifier, having components substantially the same as the components of the first amplifier, is connected through the charge cancellation capacitor to the first amplifier.

摘要： A pipelined analog to digital converter in which data samples ripple down through the pipeline of comparator stages. Each stage of the pipeline includes switch capacitor amplifiers for comparing an analog signal to a first reference voltage, to a second reference voltage, and to an average of the first and second reference voltages. Fan out of circuit components can be eliminated in succeeding stages, and error correction is provided by including overlapping of ranges passed by an earlier stage to a subsequent stage.
