PURPOSE: An A/D(Analog/Digital) converter circuit and a method for converting an analog signal into a digital signal are provided, which reduces a conversion time and improves a conversion accuracy, by measuring only bits of high error among the whole bits according as converting the analog signal into the digital signal. CONSTITUTION: A MUX part(21) selects and outputs an inputted analog signal, and a comparator part(22) compares an output of the above MUX part with a reference signal. A microprocessor(23) outputs a digital signal of plural bits where only bits sensitive to noise are converted among digital signals of plural bits corresponding to the analog signal inputted according to the comparison result of the comparator part. And a digital/analog converter part(24) converts the digital signal being output from the microprocessor into an analog signal and then transfers it as a reference signal of the comparator part.

PURPOSE: An analog/digital converter is provided to prevent increase of linear errors by the gain differential while generating folding signals, and restrain errors at the time of analog/digital conversion even if the speed of analog input is high because the number of a track/hold amplifier does not increase. CONSTITUTION: An analog/digital transformer includes followings. N number of track/hold amplifiers(61a-61n) tracks and holds voltage distributed by resistances connected in parallel and analog input (Ain) signals. A folding preprocessing block(62) generates the tracked and held signals generated from the track/hold amplifiers(61a-61n) after interpolation by 2x. A folding block(63) folds and outputs the LSB output value of the folding preprocessing block(62) generated to each folding block. A coarse preprocessing block(65) processes and outputs the folding preprocessed MSB values.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method of minimizing digital peak is provided to ignore meaningless peak which is mostly not recognized to people, thereby secure large gain corresponding to environment. CONSTITUTION: Gain is set up as the predetermined first gain level(S11). Generation of peak is sensed during an analog-digital conversion process(S12). Necessity of reducing the gain is determined by inspecting the peak generation(S13,S14). When necessity of the gain reduction is determined, the gain is decreased to the predetermined gain regulation width in the second gain level, which is lower than the first gain level(S15). Until gain reduction is decided to be unnecessary, the steps are repetitively performed.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A multiplier-free algorithm for estimating sample-time and a gain mismatch error in a two-channel time-interleaved analog to digital converter are provided to deduct an absolute value of an output from two ADCs using a gain mismatch error estimation algorithm. CONSTITUTION: An input signal is converted into first and second digital signals with two time-leaved analog digital converter cores in order to provide a set of two ADC outputs. At least one of the two time-leaved analog digital converter cores has a correction input. The first and second digital signals are interleaved in order to form an expression of being converted into a digital format of the input signal. An error is estimated using a code value which is determined from the first and second digital signals. The correction signal is determined from the error. The correction signal is applied one or more correction input of the two time-leaved analog digital converter cores.
