Abstract:
An analog to digital converting apparatus using a digital control comparator, a method thereof, and a pacemaker having the same are provided to reliably realize less power consumption by selectively operating the digital control comparators by bits. An analog to digital converting apparatus includes a plurality of digital control comparators(511~519), a digital to analog converter(520), and a successive approximation logic circuit(530). The digital control comparators sequentially generate bit values from an MSB(Most Significant Bit) by comparing input voltage(Vin) with reference voltages(Vref). The digital to analog converter generates the reference voltages applied to the comparators according to the generated bit values. The successive approximation logic circuit selects the comparator to generate the bit value of the adjacent bit according to the generated bit values, turns on the comparator, and performs a binary search.
Abstract:
A multi channel analog-digital converting apparatus is provided to reduce the size of apparatus and cost by forming a channel group composed of a sampling switch with low resolution and a channel group composed of a sampling switch with high resolution. A multi channel analog-digital converting apparatus includes a first channel group(10), a second channel group(20), and a group sampling switch(30). The first channel group(10) is composed of sampling switches of a predetermined number of channels having first resolution. The second channel group(20) is composed of sampling switches of a predetermined number of channels having second resolution. One side of the group sampling switch(30) is connected with the output of the second channel group(20), and the other side thereof is connected with the output of the first channel group(10).
Abstract:
An analog to digital converter and an analog to digital converting method are provided to reduce power consumption and a chip size in comparison with the analog to digital converter comprised of a plurality of comparators comprised of pre-amplifiers. 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. A code generator(100) receives the detection signal and converts the detection signal into an N bit digital signal which increases as the analog input signal increases. The delay unit includes a first delay cell and a second delay cell. The first delay cell receives the clock and delays the clock as much as the first delay time according to the analog input signal. The second delay cell receives the clock and delays the clock as much as the second delay time according to the one reference voltage among the plurality of reference voltages.
Abstract:
A signal converter and a method for converting a signal reduce power consumption and a layout area by applying a sharing technique and a switching technique together. A signal converter(100) includes a first amplifier always maintaining the active state, and a third amplifier maintaining the active state in a first phase and a second amplifier maintaining the active state in a second phase. While a plurality of first capacitors(C1) sample the input signal in the first phase, the serially connected first amplifier and the third amplifier amplify the voltage generated by the first voltage set. While a plurality of second capacitors(C2) sample the output voltage of the second amplifier in the second phase, the serially connected first amplifier and the second amplifier amplify the voltage generated by the second voltage set.
Abstract:
An AD converting device is provided to convert a wide band analog signal into a digital signal without quantization distortion. In an AD converting device, an analog signal dividing unit(300) divides a frequency band with an input analogue signal into more than two sub bands. A sub band AD converting unit(100-1 to 100-N) AD converts a signal of each sub band divided by the analog signal dividing unit(300). A digital signal combining unit(200) combines output digital signals of the sub band AD converting unit(100-1 to 100-N) into one.
