Abstract:
Successive two-trip traversals of charges between gates G.sub.0 and G.sub.2 make it possible to obtain beneath gates G.sub.1 and G.sub.2 quantities of charges equal to Q.sub.R, Q.sub.R /2, Q.sub.R /2.sup.2 . . . Q.sub.R /2.sup.i. A readout device for reading charges and connected to gates G.sub.2 and G.sub.4 generates voltages V.sub.R and V.sub.Ri =a.sub.0 .multidot.V.sub.R +a.sub.1 .multidot.V.sub.R /2+ . . . +a.sub.i-1 .multidot.V.sub.R /2.sup.i-1 +V.sub.R /2.sup.i which are compared with a voltage sample V.sub.x to be coded in order to determine by successive approximations the coefficients a.sub.0 . . . a.sub.n which are equal to 0 or to 1 such that V.sub.x =a.sub.0 .multidot.V.sub.R +a.sub.1 .multidot.V.sub.R /2+ . . . +a.sub.n .multidot.V.sub.R /2.sup.n. Depending on the value of a.sub.i, each quantity of charges Q.sub.R /2.sup.i stored beneath gate G.sub.1 is removed beneath diode D.sub.e or stored beneath gate G.sub.3 and then transferred beneath gate G.sub.4.

Abstract:
A digital-analog converter and an analog-digital converter using the same are provided to obtain an accurate data conversion result by removing the influence of the parasitic capacitance through a virtual ground. A digital-analog converter(1000) includes a first type capacitor array(320) and a second type capacitor array(340), and a charge re-distributor(360). The first and second type capacitor arrays have the different array configuration. The charge re-distributor resets the charge in response to the digital data set in the first and second type capacitor arrays. The charge re-distributor generates the analog voltage corresponding to the electric charge reset result. The first type capacitor array is a weighted capacitor array. The second type capacitor array is a charge sharing capacitor array.
