Abstract:
THE PRESENT INVENTION RELATES TO AN ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER (100). THE ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER (100) RESOLVES THE MOST SIGNIFICANT BITS BY USING ASYNCHRONOUS BINARY SEARCH METHOD AND THE REMAINING BITS BY USING CHARGE REDISTRIBUTION METHOD. THE ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER (100) COMPRISES OF A SAMPLE AND HOLD CIRCUIT (110), AN ANALOG COMPARATOR (120), A SUCCESSIVE APPROXIMATION REGISTER (130), A BINARY TREE OF COMPARATORS (140) AND A DIGITAL TO ANALOG CONVERTER OR DAC (150).
Abstract:
The system (100) and method (200) according to the present invention utilizes the light source (105) component in compensating thermal and time drift effect of ISFET sensor (100). A compensating circuit that has variable gain to fine-tune the slope of LED (105) drift such that it matches that of the ISFET (100) drift is applied. Thereafter, a cancellation circuit is used to cancel off the slope of time and temperature drift of the ISFET sensor (100). The LED (105) is employed due to its insensitivity to pH which results in the pH value being accurate.
