Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an improved secondary order double sample type analog/ digital (A/D) ΣΔ converter. SOLUTION: This secondary order double sample type A/D ΣΔconverter uses two pieces of cascade, connected to completely differential switched capacitor integrators. The first integrator has a completely floating double sample type semi-double switched capacitor input component, and the second integrator has a double sample type primary switched capacitor input component on the other hand, with superior SNR, capable of decreasing the number of switches and lowering the power consumption.

Abstract: PURPOSE: To eliminate the loss of a charge and to hold a dynamic characteristic by stitching the output of the input switched operational amplifier structure of a switched capacitance circuit to supply voltage. CONSTITUTION: The output of the input switched operational amplifier structure of the switched capacitance circuit is switched to supply voltage Vdd instead of making it to a ground value. It is realized by using a private integrated P-channel switch in a substrate connected to supply voltage Vdd and what is called body effect is removed. Thus, the output node of the input operational amplifier A1 does not take negative voltage during an operation when the switched operational amplifier is turned off. For subtracting Vdd/2 voltage instead of adding them, a clock phase for driving two switches S2 and S3 connecting a bias capacitor Cdc to the supply node and ground is exchanged. Thus, the arbitrary loss through respective substrates can be prevented.

Abstract: In a switched operational amplifier including a differential input stage and at least a second output stage the compensation capacitor (CC) commonly required to couple the output node of the second stage with the respective output node of the input differential stage of the amplifier is associated with switching means (M5P, M5N) controlled by the same control phase (Ph1) that enables/disables the amplifier for interrupting the connection between the compensation capacitor (CC) and the output node of the differential input stage during a phase in which the amplifier is disabled for reducing the switch-on time. Notably the differential input stage of the operational amplifier remains always active and only the second output stage is switched on and off.

Abstract: A set (Array_SAR) of sampling capacitors weighted according to a binary code is charged through a first capacitive unit (Array_Vin), whose capacitance is equal to the sum of the capacitances of the set (Array_SAR), at a voltage Vcm-Vin/2. The conversion is carried out by the SAR process by means of a comparator (13') and a logic unit (14') which operates the switches (SW1'-SW6') associated with the capacitors. The final position of the switches is loaded into a register (15') which supplies the digital output signal (Nout). To prevent any disturbances in the power supply and reference potential sources from affecting the accuracy of the conversion, two further capacitive units (Array_-Vref) and (Array_GND) are provided, with the same capacitance as the first capacitive unit, and these make it possible to present all the disturbances at the input of the comparator (13') in common mode and therefore without any effect on the output (OutCmp).

Abstract: In switch-capacitor systems for extremely low supply voltage, employing fully differential switched op-amp, proper functioning of nMOS switches coupled to the inverting input node of an integrated stage capable of outputting a common mode control signal, is may possible by retaining the ground potential on the input node to prevent body effects on the threshold of nMOS switches by means of an auxiliary switched capacitor.
