    Abstract: The present invention introduces a comparison system in a successive- approximation-register (SAR) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that improves the power consumption of conventional comparators. The comparator of the present invention specifically includes a dynamic latch (400), and an auto-triggered pre-amplifier (300) with an offset cancellation circuit and a two-stage differential operational amplifier (opamp). The dynamic latch (400) performs a coarse input comparison while the auto-triggered pre-amplifier (300) performs a finer input comparison, wherein the auto-triggered pre-amplifier (300) is triggered by a SAR logic (200) and a metastability detector (100) when the input difference signal resolution exceeds 10 bits.

    Abstract: A readout interface circuit for a humidity sensor, particularly FEF sensor (10) is described. The readout interface circuit comprises a phase detector (20), a charge pump (30), a half wave rectifier (50) and two low pass filters (40, 42). The phase detector (20) is configured to produce output voltage proportional to the phase difference of signals from FEF sensor. The charge pump (30) is configured to control the current flow of phase detector to provide a linear output of phase detector. The first low pass filter (40) suppress noise level of charge pump output. The half wave rectifier (50) extracts the signal magnitude of sensor output. The second low pass filter (42) extract DC level of output of half wave rectifier. The output of first low pass filter (40) carries phase difference information of humidity and the output of second low pass filter (42) carries voltage output of humidity.

    Abstract: A Successive Approximation Analog to Digital Converter, SA-ADC (100) and a method for calibrating thereof has been disclosed. The SA-ADC (100) includes a capacitance measurement circuit (200) which performs frequency based capacitance measurement for calibrating the SA-ADC (100). The capacitance measurement circuit (200) is connected to a Digital to Analog Converter, DAC of SA-ADC (100) once only and thereafter the frequency based capacitance value of capacitors is repeatedly used in conversion cycles. Thus, the capacitance measurement circuit (200) improves conversion rate of conventional successive approximation analog to digital converters and eliminates the need for high accuracy DAC required in conventional SA-ADC.
