Abstract: A data register unit, a SAR ADC and an electronic device are disclosed. The data register unit comprises: a first high-speed flip-flop; a second high-speed flip-flop; and a first logic gate, wherein the first high-speed flip-flop and the second high-speed flip-flop comprise a high-speed flip-flop circuit respectively, which comprises: a first PMOS transistor, a first NMOS transistor, an inverter and a logic gate. The data register unit of the present disclosure is composed of a high-speed flip-flop circuit with a very simple structure and suitable for fast operation. In a further embodiment, the high-speed flip-flop circuit can combine the bit pulse to realize the capacitor switching based on the comparison result. This increases the operation speed of the SAR ADC while significantly reducing the number of transistors required to implement the EMCS logic.

Abstract: A time-interleaved analog to digital converter includes coarse converter circuitries, a control logic circuit, first and second transfer circuits, a fine converter circuitry, and an encoder circuit. The coarse converter circuitries sequentially sample an input signal and perform coarse conversions to generate decision signals. The control logic circuit generates coarse digital codes according to the decision signals. The first and second transfer circuits respectively transfer first and second residue signals. The fine converter circuitry performs a fine conversion according to a corresponding first residue signal and a corresponding second residue signal to generate a fine digital code. A sampling interval for sampling the input signal and a coarse conversion interval for performing the coarse conversion are determined based on a fine conversion interval for performing the fine conversion. The encoder circuit generates a digital output according to a corresponding coarse digital code and the fine digital code.

Abstract: A conversion circuit that performs analog-to-digital conversion is described. During operation, the conversion circuit receives an input signal. Then, the conversion circuit performs analog-to-digital conversion and provides a quantized output corresponding to the input signal based at least in part on a first power-supply voltage and a second power-supply voltage of the conversion circuit. For example, the quantized output may be based at least in part on a comparison of the input signal to the first power-supply voltage and the second power-supply voltage. Moreover, the first power-supply voltage and the second power-supply voltage may specify a full-scale range of the conversion circuit. When the full-scale range exceeds a second full-scale range associated with reference voltages that are other than the first power-supply voltage and the second power-supply voltage, the quantized output may correspond to a larger number of bits than when the full-scale range equals the second full-scale range.

Abstract: A method of converting a single-ended signal to a differential-ended signal includes the following steps: providing a first sampling capacitor having a first end and a second end; providing a second sampling capacitor having a third end and a fourth end; at a first time point, controlling the first end to receive a single-ended signal, controlling the second end to receive a reference voltage, controlling the third end to receive the reference voltage or a middle voltage value of the swing of the single-ended signal, and controlling the fourth end to receive the single-ended signal; and at a second time point, controlling the second end and the fourth end to receive the reference voltage. The first end and the third end output a differential signal after the second time point which is later than the first time point.
