7 Accuracy enhancement techniques for ADCs EP14186401.7 2014-09-25 EP2858248A1 2015-04-08 Shen, Junhua; Kapusta, Ronald A.

Embodiments of the present invention may provide accuracy enhancement techniques to improve ADC SNRs. For example, regular bit trials from a most significant bit (MSB) to predetermined less significant bit of a digital word and extra bit trials may be performed. The results of the regular and extra bit trials may be combined to generate a digital output signal. A residue error may be measured, and the digital output signal may be adjusted based on the measured residue error.

PURPOSE:To execute an A/D conversion whose temperature drift is small, by representing an output which has compared an input analog signal, and a pseudo random signal having amplitude whose probability density distribution is constant, by a pulse whose period is constant, and integrating it at every time of integer times of an external noise period. CONSTITUTION:An input analog signal f (t) is amplified at 1, and after that, is compared with a pseudo random signal P (t, x) 3. If an amplitude probability density function of the signal P is constant, the probability of f>P is in propeortion to (f). A pulse SP of a period Ts is generated 4, a comparison output 2 is represented, and is counted at 6. On the other hand, the pulse SP is frequency-divided at 7 into 1/N, is reset by a pulse Tc=NTs, a pulse having a period Tc is provided to a strobe terminal S of a latching circuit 8, too, a counting value is latched, and a digital output is obtained. In this regard, when this converter is used in a place where a periodical noise occurs, a noise can be removed by selecting Tc to integer times a period of a noise component. Since this converter has no RC circuit, it is free from a temperature drift, and a very small signal can be converted enough.

An exemplary electronic light processing cell uses a photo sensor unit to provide an analog electrical output proportional to an amount of light impinging on the photo sensor. A noise source provides a noise output that is compared by a comparator, during a plurality of times during a frame of an image, with the analog electrical output to generate a binary digital output representative of each comparison. A digital counter counts the binary digital outputs during the frame and stores a count at the end of a frame where the value of the stored count is proportional the light impinging the photo sensor. The value of the stored count is adapted for use by an image processing unit to render an image.
16 STOCHASTIC ENCODING IN ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERSION US14095690 2013-12-03 US20150155878A1 2015-06-04 Thomas M. MacLeod
A method and system for encoding an analog signal on a stochastic signal, the encoded signal then converted to a digital signal by an analog to digital converter, the analog to digital converter thereafter decoding from the encoded signal a digital signal, which corresponds to the analog signal. The stochastic signal may be a noise signal shaped to a Gaussian normal curve. An encoding process is performed by a multiplication circuit, which multiplies the stochastic signal by the analog signal, producing a product signal for an analog to digital conversion. During analog to digital conversion, the product signal is decoded. The decoding is performed using an arithmetic operation, which may be a Root Sum Square function or a Root Means Square function. The decoded signal is then mapped to account for offset error, gain error, and endpoint adjustment. The result is a decoded digital signal corresponding to the analog signal.

A stochastic time-digital converter (STDC) including an input switching circuit, an STDC array, and an encoder. A clock circuit inputs two clock signals into two input terminals of the input switching circuit; the input switching circuit transmits the two clock signals in a cyclic cross-transposition form to two input terminals of the STDC array, and simultaneously outputs a trigger control signal to the encoder; each comparator in the STDC array independently judges the speeds of the two clock signals and sends the judgement results to the encoder for collection and processing; and the encoder outputs the size and positivity or negativity of the phase difference of the two clock signals. The technical solution utilizes the stochastic characteristic of the STDC to double the number of the equivalent comparators in the STDC array, eliminating the effects on the circuitry of device mismatching and processes, power supply voltage, and temperature.

20 Analog-to-digital modulation US11021140 2004-12-24 US07224305B2 2007-05-29 Jacobus C. Haartsen
A supplied analog signal is modulated by comparing the supplied analog signal with a noise signal. As a result of each comparison, an output signal is generated having a first value if the supplied analog signal is greater than the noise signal and generating an output signal having a second value if the supplied analog signal is lower than the noise signal. Such modulation is useful in applications such as analog-to-digital conversion. The transfer function of the modulator is a function of the distribution of the noise source.
