    摘要: An analog-to-digital converting device includes: a main analog-to-digital converter configured to convert an analog signal output from a sensor to a digital signal; and a monitoring unit configured to monitor the digital signal converted by the main analog-to-digital converter. The main analog-to-digital converter is provided by a special purpose IC arranged separately from a microcomputer for controlling the main analog-to-digital converter. The monitoring unit includes multiple sub analog-to-digital converters each of which having a conversion accuracy lower than that of the main analog-to-digital converter and converting the analog signal output from the sensor to a digital signal. The monitoring unit sets a predetermined threshold based on conversion values of the digital signals converted by the multiple sub analog-to-digital converters, and compares a conversion value of the digital signal converted by the main analog-to-digital converter with the predetermined threshold.

    摘要: A pulse width modulation (PWM) digital-to-analog conversion circuit includes switches 102, 104, 114, 116 controlled by a first PWM signal, and switches 106, 108, 110, 112 controlled by a second PWM signal. A first operational amplifier (op-amp) includes a first input coupled to an output of a filter, and a second input coupled to an output of the first op-amp. During a first time period, an output of a second op-amp is coupled to an input of the filter via switches 102 and 104, and an output of a third op-amp is coupled to the output of the first op-amp via switches 114 and 116. During a second time period, the output of the second op-amp is coupled to the output of the first op-amp via switches 106 and 108, and an output of the third op-amp is coupled to the input of the filter via switches 110 and 112.

    摘要: An amplifier performs analog amplification on a signal I_A with a gain corresponding to a state GS and outputs the amplified signal as a signal M_A. An ADC converts the signal M_A to a digital signal and outputs the digital signal as a signal M_D. Analog comparators and a down-determination unit detect that the signal M_A exceeds a first level, and cause the state GS to transition to a state of gain of the next lower stage. Digital comparators and an up-determination unit detect that the signal M_D has been continuously lower than a second level for a predetermined period, and cause the state GS to transition to a state of gain of the next higher stage. The restoration circuit performs digital amplification on the signal M_D with a gain corresponding to the gain of the amplifier and outputs the amplified signal as a signal O_D.
