Abstract:
An analog to digital converter is provided to reduce power consumption and a chip size by reducing a configuration device using the reference voltage selecting circuit. A voltage divider(100) divides the reference voltage by using a resistor. A reference voltage selecting switch(200) is connected to the output terminal of the voltage divider and varies the output voltage by selecting the reference voltage generated from the voltage divider. A sample-hold switch unit(300) receives an analog input signal and outputs the sampling signal and the hold signal of the analog input signal. A comparator receives the output signal of the sample-hold switch unit and the output voltage of the reference voltage selecting switch unit and compares the output voltage and the output signal. A preamplifier(500) amplifies the output signal according to the comparison result of the comparator and compensates for the error due to the amplification. A switch controller controls the reference voltage selecting switch unit by generating the reference voltage control signal.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a pipelined ADC. A first end thereof is configured to be formed by two SAR ADC which is provided in a dual channel and the remaining end thereof is configured to be formed by a first flash ADC and a second flash ADC which are provided in a single channel.

Abstract:
PURPOSE: A dual channel analog to digital converter (ADC) is provided to sample an input signal by using a sampling clock of each channel by solving a mismatching problem. CONSTITUTION: An ADC comprises an SHA (110), an MDAC (120-130), an SHA sampling clock generator, and a flash ADC (140-160). An input end of the SHA or the MDAC constructs an X channel and a Y channel. The X channel shares an amplifier with the Y channel. The SHA sampling clock generator generates the sampling clock of the X channel and the sampling clock of the Y channel. The sampling clock of the X channel and the sampling clock of the Y channel are synchronized with a falling edge of a reference clock. A delay control circuit controls the delay time of a reference clock synchronizing with the SHA sampling clock generating the SHA sampling clock generator used in a digital correction circuit.

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.

A reference voltage generator(10) generates a plurality of different reference voltages. A delay unit(20) changes a size of an analog input signal and the size and difference of a plurality of reference voltages into the delay time difference of an inputted clock. A phase detector(30) detects the delay time difference of the clock and generates the detection signal.
