Analog-to-digital converter comprising dual oscillators for linearity compensation
Abstract:
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is disclosed operable to convert a sensor signal to a digital value. A differential amplifier responsive to the sensor signal and a reference signal generates a first analog signal representing a first offset above the reference signal and a second analog signal representing a second offset below the reference signal. A first oscillator generates a first output frequency dependent on the first analog signal, and a second oscillator generates a second output frequency dependent on the second analog signal. A difference between the first output frequency and the second output frequency is generated, and the digital value representing the sensor signal is generated in response to the difference.
