    Abstract: An analog-to-digital conversion system and method includes, for example, a comparator for sampling an analogy quantity during a sampling period and for performing a series of bit-wise conversions on the sampled analog sample during a conversion period, where each bit-wise conversion occurs during a respective bit-wise conversion cycle in which successive bits of a sample are successively determined during a respective bit conversion cycle and in which a predetermined number of bit-wise conversions are to be performed. A clock generator is arranged for generating a clock signal for clocking the converter during the conversion period, wherein each bit conversion cycle includes a reset period having a first length and an amplification period having a second length, wherein one of the first and second lengths is dynamically selected.

    Abstract: A phase-locked loop (PLL) includes a state machine programmed to automatically produce a set of control signals to select a charge-pump current and integrating capacitance value to automatically adjust a loop bandwidth of the PLL. A charge-pump DAC generates a charge-pump current of magnitude controlled by the state machine control signals. An integrator integrates the charge-pump output current to produce an integrated charge-pump output signal. The integrator has a plurality of capacitors switchably selected by control signals from the state machine to produce an integrating capacitance value. A voltage controlled oscillator (VCO) produces a PLL output frequency in response to the integrated charge-pump output signal.

    Abstract: A temperature sensor uses a semiconductor device that has a known voltage drop characteristic that is proportional to absolute temperature (PTAT). A controllable current source is coupled to the semiconductor device and is operable to sequentially inject a bias current having a value I(bias) and fixed ratio N of I(bias) into the semiconductor device. A delta sigma analog to digital converter (ADC) has an input coupled to the semiconductor device. The delta sigma ADC is configured to sample and integrate a sequence of voltages pairs produced across the semiconductor device by repeatedly injecting an ordered sequence of selected bias currents into the semiconductor device. The ordered sequence of selected bias currents comprises M repetitions of (N×I(bias); I(bias)) and one repetition of (M×I(bias); M×N×I(bias)).

    Abstract: An enhanced resolution successive-approximation register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is provided that includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC), a comparator and enhanced resolution SAR control logic. The DAC includes analog circuitry that is configured to convert an M-bit digital input to an analog output. The comparator includes a plurality of coupling capacitors. The enhanced resolution SAR control logic is configured to generate an M-bit approximation of an input voltage and to store a residue voltage in at least one of the coupling capacitors. The residue voltage represents a difference between the input voltage and the M-bit approximation of the input voltage. The enhanced resolution SAR control logic is further configured to generate an N-bit approximation of the input voltage based on the stored residue voltage, where N>M.

    Abstract: Methods for operating two or more analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are presented herein. The method may be implemented in an integrated circuit. The integrated circuit may include a first ADC and a second ADC disposed on a single semiconductor die. The integrated circuit may also include logic circuitry operably coupled to the first and second ADCs. For a digital value obtained by conversion, by the first ADC, of a first analog signal sampled by the first ADC during a period of time overlapping with another period of time during which a second analog signal is being converted by the second ADC, the logic circuitry may be configured to cause the digital value to be marked as noisy.
