    摘要: Embodiments of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a logarithmic response and methods for converting digital signals to analog are generally described herein. Other embodiments may be described and claimed. In some embodiments, the DAC includes a wedge-shaped resistive array having a plurality of linearly-spaced contact nodes and a switching array to selectively couple one of the contact nodes with an analog output based on a control signal. Each of the contact nodes may provide a corresponding reference voltage that varies logarithmically with respect to the linearly-spaced contact nodes.

    摘要: A patient monitoring signal processing system adaptively varies medical signal data rate. The system uses an analog to digital converter for digitizing an analog cyclically varying input signal derived from a patient in response to a sampling clock input. The sampling clock determines frequency of analog to digital sampling of the analog input signal by the analog to digital converter. A detector detects first and second different signal portions within a cycle of the cyclically varying input signal. A control processor coupled to the analog to digital converter and the detector, provides the sampling clock and adaptively determines first and second different frequencies of the sampling clock to be used in sampling within detected corresponding first and second different signal portions of the cyclically varying input signal in response to predetermined information indicating a frequency of a signal component of the cyclically varying input signal in the first signal portion is higher than a frequency of a signal component of the cyclically varying input signal in the second signal portion. Also the first frequency is higher than the second frequency of the first and second different frequencies.

For example, a pipelined analog to digital converter is disclosed that includes two or more comparators. A first of the comparators is operable to compare an analog input to a first voltage reference upon assertion of the first clock, and a second of the comparators is operable to compare the analog input to a second voltage reference upon assertion of the second clock. The pipelined analog to digital converters further include a multiplexer tree with at least a first tier multiplexer and a second tier multiplexer. The first tier multiplexer receives an output of the first comparator and an output of the second comparator, and the second tier multiplexer receives an output derived from the first tier multiplexer. The second tier multiplexer provides an output bit. A bit enable set is used as a selector input to the first tier multiplexer and the second tier multiplexer, and the bit enable set includes one or more output bits from preceding bit periods.

    摘要: Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for signal equalization, and in some cases analog to digital conversion. For example, an analog to digital converter is disclosed that includes a comparator bank that receives a reference indicator and is operable to provide a decision output based at least in part on a comparison of an analog input with a reference threshold corresponding to the reference indicator. A range selection filter is included that has a first adjustment calculation circuit and a second adjustment calculation circuit. The first adjustment calculation circuit is operable to calculate a first adjustment feedback value based at least in part on a speculation that the decision output is a first logic level, and the second adjustment calculation circuit is operable to calculate a second adjustment feedback value based at least in part on a speculation that the decision output is a second logic level. A selector circuit selects the first adjustment feedback to generate the reference indicator when the decision output is the first logic level, and selects the second adjustment feedback to generate the reference indicator when the decision output is the second logic level.
