    摘要: A sigma-delta converter, analog-to-digital conversion system, and an Integrated Circuit (IC) chip are disclosed that include a main sigma-delta modulator and an auxiliary sigma-delta modulator. The auxiliary sigma-delta modulator is electrically matched with the main sigma-delta modulator and is configured to generate an output that is incorporated into a feedback loop of the main sigma-delta modulator to enable the main sigma-delta modulator to adjust an offset signal applied at a main analog channel.

    摘要: One embodiment includes a phase-based analog-to-digital converter (ADC) system. The system includes a voltage-to-phase converter configured to convert an input voltage to a phase difference corresponding to a phase-delay with respect to an input clock signal that is based on a magnitude of the input voltage. The system also includes a phase-to-digital converter configured to convert the phase difference into a digital output signal having a digital value corresponding to a magnitude of the phase difference.

    摘要: A switch-mode modulator operating at a two-level voltage and including an alternating output stage (3), an optional output filter (5) and a feedback including a function block (14) with a transfer function (MFB). The modulator furthermore includes a forward block (12) provided with means for calculating the difference between the signal (14a) originating from the function block (14) and a reference signal (REF) as well as with a transfer function (MFW). The output (13) of the forward block (12) is the input of a Schmitt-trigger (9), which generates switch on signals (2) for changing the output stage. The output voltage (VOUT) of the modulator applying either after the optional output filter (5) or the output stage (3) is fed back through the function block (14) so as to generate the signal (14a) fed back. The transfer function of the function block (14) and of the forward block (12) is chosen both in response to the transfer function of the output filter (5) and in response to the desired total open-loop-transfer function of the modulator.

    摘要: Low intensity light is incident upon a photodiode whose output is coupled to an integrator. The output of the integrator is coupled to an input of an A/D converter, whose output is coupled to a microprocessor, whose output is coupled to a filter. A second output of the microprocessor is coupled to a gate electrode of a FET to provide a reset signal to the FET to reset the integrator. The microprocessor compares the digital samples of the integrated signal from the A/D converter and, firstly, generates the reset signal if a sample is beyond a set limit, and, secondly, calculates delta values between adjacent samples and interpolates the delta values for the reset periods so as to provide a continuous data stream which can be filtered by a filter matched to the form of the original signal.

    摘要: A system and method for analog-to-digital conversion using digital pulse width modulation (PWM) is disclosed. The method and system according to the disclosed invention converts an analog input signal to a digital signal in pulse code modulated (PCM) form. The disclosed invention uses a feedback circuit to perform PWM of the analog input signal. The PWM signal is then decimated to obtain the digital signal in PCM form. The system according to the disclosed invention requires lower operating frequency and dissipates lesser power than prior art systems providing the same sampling frequency and resolution. The operation at a lower frequency is achieved by obtaining two samples from every pulse of the PWM signal; the first sample being obtained from the right duty ratio, and the second sample being obtained form the left duty ratio. Further, the disclosed invention has lesser implementation complexity and higher signal-to-noise ratio than prior art.
