Abstract:
A switched capacitor variable gain amplifier is provided to reduce a voltage gain error due to capacitor mismatching by sharing a sampling capacitor in a sampling phase and an amplifying phase. A first sampling capacitor module(320A) and a second sampling capacitor module(320B) include a first sampling capacitor and a first variable capacitor and stores an input voltage in the sampling phase respectively. An operational amplifier amplifies the difference between input voltages in the amplifying phase. A first amplifying capacitor module(330A) and a second amplifying capacitor module(330B) share the first and second sampling capacitor modules and the first sampling capacitor and determine a voltage gain value of the input voltage according to the capacitance of a compensation capacitor, a second variable capacitor, and the shared first sampling capacitor. A plurality of sampling switches(340) and amplifying switches(350) are opened or closed in the sampling phase and the amplifying phase.
Abstract:
A dual CDS/PxGA(Correlated Double Sampling/Pixel Gain Amplifier) circuit is provided to obtain a wide variable gain by controlling the capacitance by the capacitor arrangement. A first sampling unit(310) samples a reset level and a data level of a first pixel. A second sampling unit(320) samples the reset level and the data level of a second pixel. An operational amplifier(330) receives a sampling value from the first sampling unit and the second sampling unit. The operational amplifier calculates the output signal of the first pixel and the output signal of the second pixel by using the sampling value and amplifies and outputs the calculated signal. The gain of the operational amplifier is decided based on the capacitance of the capacitors included in the first sampling unit and the second sampling unit.
Abstract:
A control method of pipeline analog/digital converter and a pipeline analog/digital converter are provided to minimize sampling mismatch by controlling a sampling point. A pipeline analog/digital converter does not use a shear sample-and-hold amplifier. A first stage of the pipeline analog/digital converter comprises an A/D converter and a residual signal generator. The A/D converter(420) samples the analog input signal and produces first sampling value. The A/D converter amplifies the first sampling value and converses the first sampling value to corresponding digital code. The residual signal generator(410) samples an analog input signal at the same time with the sampling by the A/D converter and produces second sampling value. While the A/D converter amplifies the first sampling value, the residual signal generator holds the second sampling value. The residual signal generator produces the residual signal by using the second sampling value and digital code and delivers the generated residual signal to the second stage.

Abstract:
A multi-bit pipeline analog-to-digital converter is provided to decrease a chip size by arranging amplifiers between an SHA(Sampling and Holding Agent) and an MDAC of a first stage. A multi-bit pipeline analog-to-digital converter includes an SHA(10), an N-bit flash ADC(Analog Digital Converter)(20), an N-bit MDAC(30), and a 3-stage amplifier(AMP1). The SHA samples and holds an input analog voltage and removes a sampling error from an input voltage. The N-bit flash ADCs of first to K-th stages receive an analog signal and convert the analog signal to a digital signal. The N-bit MDACs of first to K-th stages convert a difference between an output digital signal from the N-bit flash ADC and the output signal from a previous stage into an analog signal and outputs the analog signal. The 3-stage amplifier is connected to the N-bit MDAC(Multiplying Digital to Analog Converter) output of the first stage at a first clock. At a second clock, the 3-stage amplifier is connected to an output of the SHA.
