Method and apparatus for time-differential comparison of an analog signal
Abstract:
A time-differential analog comparator is disclosed. An example apparatus according to aspects of the present invention includes a source of a variable frequency signal having a frequency responsive to an analog input. A counting circuit is coupled to count cycles of the variable frequency signal. The counting circuit is coupled to count in a first direction for a first time interval and is coupled to count in a second direction opposite to the first direction for a second time interval that occurs after an end of the first time interval. The counting circuit outputs a digital count signal and an evaluation circuit is coupled to generate a decision signal in response to the digital count signal after an end of the second time interval. The first time interval is not equal to the second time interval to generate an offset in the decision signal.
