Abstract: The present application relates to a method for operating sensing signals and the circuit thereof. An analog-to-digital converter first processes the input signal having the most significant bit (MSB DATA) data at least once. Afterwards, the analog-to-digital converter processes the input signal having the least significant bit (LSB) data and the MSB data and sums all the input signals. Thereby, the process steps of the analog-to-digital converter can be simplified and the processing time can be shortened.

Abstract: The present application discloses a light sensor circuit comprising a first amplifier, a second amplifier and an active load. An integration circuit is formed by the operation of this light sensor circuit and connected to a photodiode. The cathode of the photodiode is controlled to maintain an identical or approximate voltage level with the anode of the photodiode, which significantly reduces the influence of the dark current from the photodiode. Consequently, when applied to an analog-to-digital conversion device, the light sensor circuit effectively maintains the performance and accuracy of the device. Additionally, this design significantly reduces circuit complexity and manufacturing costs.
