Abstract:
An analog-to-digital converter (“ADC”) is disclosed. The ADC includes a bank of comparators and a window controller. The window controller is coupled to the bank of comparators to selectively activate first comparators of the bank of comparators associated with a window size and to selectively inactivate second comparators of the bank of comparators.

Abstract:
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes an analog input stage including an output configured to generate an analog output signal and a digital stage coupled the output of the analog input stage. The digital stage is configured to classify the analog output signal into one of a plurality of consecutive voltage ranges. Responsive to the analog output signal being classified in a first enumerated voltage range of the plurality of voltage ranges during a rotation of a sample, a voltage for a subsequent rotation is determined as if the analog output signal is classified into a non-enumerated voltage range selected according to a state of a random number signal.
Abstract:
A system for calibrating impedance of an input/output (I/O) buffer on a semiconductor die includes: the I/O buffer; a temperature sensor on the semiconductor die; and a supply sensor on the semiconductor die. The temperature sensor is configured to acquire temperature information for calibrating the I/O buffer. The supply sensor is configured to acquire voltage information for calibrating the I/O buffer. The I/O buffer comprises: a memory component coupled to the temperature and supply sensors and configured to store the acquired temperature or voltage information; a logic component coupled to the memory component; and a driver with driver legs. The driver is coupled to the logic component. The logic component is configured to generate driver control signals representing an on/off configuration for the driver legs of the driver based at least in part on the acquired temperature information or the acquired voltage information stored in the memory component.
