    摘要: To provide a hysteresis comparator having a small circuit area and low power consumption. The hysteresis comparator includes a comparator, a switch, a first capacitor, a second capacitor, and a logic circuit. A first terminal of the switch is electrically connected to one of a pair of conductive regions of the first capacitor, one of a pair of conductive regions of the second capacitor, and a first input terminal of the comparator. An output terminal of the comparator is electrically connected to an input terminal of the logic circuit. An output terminal of the logic circuit is electrically connected to the other of the pair of conductive regions of the second capacitor. The logic circuit has a function of generating an inverted signal of a signal input to the input terminal of the logic circuit and outputting the inverted signal to the output terminal of the logic circuit. A reference potential is input to the first input terminal of the comparator and the reference potential is held by the switch. Due to change in the potential of the output terminal of the comparator, the reference potential is changed by capacitive coupling of the second capacitor.

    摘要: Devices and methods that aim to improve flicker noise rejection in switched-capacitor (SC) integrators are disclosed. An example SC integrator includes a first and a second sampling capacitors, an amplifier, an integrating capacitor, coupled at least to an output of the amplifier, and a switching arrangement. By adding (i.e., integrating in the integrating capacitor) sign-inverted samples of a flicker noise of the amplifier at every clock cycle of a master clock and by keeping the time distance/delay between those samples relatively small regardless of the master clock frequency, such a SC integrator may provide improvements in terms of rejecting the flicker noise of the amplifier.

    摘要: Certain aspects of the present disclosure provide various sampling networks for switched-capacitor integrators, which may be used in switched-capacitor analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). Rather than having both an input sampling capacitor and a reference sampling capacitor, certain aspects of the present disclosure use a shared sampling capacitor for the reference voltage and the input voltage, thereby reducing ADC input-referred noise, decreasing op amp area and power, and avoiding anti-aliasing filter insertion loss. Furthermore, by sampling the reference voltage during the sampling phase and sampling the input voltage during the integration phase using the shared sampling capacitor, a high-bandwidth reference buffer need not be used for the reference voltage.

    摘要: In a correlating device, two switched-capacitor-type analog signal integrators are connected in cascade. The analog signal integrator in the first stage samples an analog input voltage at a predetermined cycle, determines the sign of the sampled value according to a binary-code sequence, integrates the sampled value, and outputs the resultant value. The analog signal integrator in the next stage samples an input voltage at a reset cycle of the analog signal integrator in the first stage, integrates the sampled value, and outputs the resultant value. This structure can prevent saturation of the correlating device without decreasing the gain of each analog signal integrator to a greet degree even when the sequence length becomes longer. Therefore, even if a high operation speed is required and if the sequence length of the binary-code sequence becomes longer, it is possible to provide a correlating device capable of achieving both an improvement of the operation accuracy and a reduction in the power consumption at a time.
