    摘要: An analog-to-digital converting device includes N-stage first analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), a second ADC, a first calibration circuit, a data recovery circuit and an output circuit. The N-stage first ADCs has a first sampling frequency that is (N+1)/N times of a second sampling frequency, and converts an input signal into first quantized outputs. The second ADC has the second sampling frequency, and converts the input signal into a second quantized output. The first calibration circuit calibrates offsets of the first quantized outputs and the second quantized output to generate third quantized outputs and a fourth quantized output. The data recovery circuit outputs, by the second sampling frequency, one of the third quantized outputs as a fifth quantized output, and subtracts the fifth quantized output from the fourth quantized output to generate output data. The output circuit generates an output signal according to the third quantized outputs and the output data.

    摘要: An analog to digital converter for operating at high speeds can be implemented with a micro-comparator/sampler, an encoder, and a selector. The micro-comparator includes an input from an antenna of a receiver/transceiver system; a transistor pair; reset transistor; cascaded inverters; an inverter circuit; a buffer; and a D flip flop circuit. Depending on the number of micro-comparator/samplers placed in parallel, a number of bits can be generated. For example, 15 bits from 15 different micro-comparator/samplers can be inserted into a 15 to 4 bit encoder to generate 4 bits.

    摘要: An approach to rejecting input common-mode voltage variations in a sampler/converter that avoids the use of a differential amplifier in the signal path, and without introducing added distortion or noise. In one embodiment, the input common-mode variations are sensed on a pair of matched resistors that straddle the common mode analog inputs, on a node ‘Vcmi’. An alternative, switched-capacitor-based sensing scheme is also possible. Using this measured Vcmi, adjustments are then made to the rest of the sampler/converter to take out any variations observed at Vcmi.

    摘要: A successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) with high accuracy is disclosed. Within the SAR ADC, a SAR logic circuit combines the output signal of a comparator collected during at least two successive cycles of a plurality of cycles of a search scheme of digital representation of an analog input and, accordingly, makes a one-step control for a voltage difference between a positive and a negative input terminal of the comparator. At least three capacitor network switching choices for a capacitor network of the SAR ADC are provided by the one-step control. By the one-step control, a selection between the at least three capacitor network switching choices is made according to at least two comparison results of the comparator obtained during the at least two successive cycles. In this manner, comparator noise is utilized as an additional quantization level to improve the overall ADC noise performance.

    摘要: In an analog-to-digital converter, a generating unit executes analog-to-digital conversion of a first input signal and a second input signal based on an analog-to-digital conversion characteristic curve to generate first digital data and second digital data respectively corresponding to the first input signal and the second input signal. The input signal has a first level, and the first level is the sum of an offset level and a level of a target analog signal for analog-to-digital conversion. The second input signal has a second level, and the second level is generated by subtracting the offset level from the level of the target analog signal. In the analog-to-digital converter, an obtaining unit obtains difference digital data between the first digital data and the second digital data to output the obtained difference digital data as digital data of the target analog signal.

    摘要: A method for reducing noise in a read signal due attributable to read element asymmetry provides for transmitting a write signal through a write precompensation circuit that shifts rising edges and falling edges of each of pulse in the write signal by a select magnitude and in opposite directions. After the write signal is encoded on a media, a corresponding read signal is read, with a read element, from the media. The method further provides for transmitting the read signal through a magnetoresistive asymmetry compensation (MRAC) block that is tuned to correct second-order non-linearities characterized by a particular set of distortion signatures. The select magnitude of the waveform shift applied by the write precompensation circuit introduces a non-linear signal characteristic that combines with non-linear signal characteristics introduced by the read element to generate one of the particular distortion signatures that is correctable by the MRAC block.
