Abstract:
PURPOSE: An ADC(Analog to Digital Converter) with a successive approximation register is provided to reduce a design area by simply changing the structure of an analog to digital converter with a SAR(Successive Approximation Register). CONSTITUTION: A reference unit(100) generates the reference voltage of a conversion section. A timing unit(500) generates the reference time for the total conversion process of an analog input signal. A digital error correction unit(600) mixes conversion codes in a digital part based on the reference generated in the timing unit. The digital error correction unit generates the digital total conversion codes of the analog input signal. The conversion codes in a digital part are generated in a first flash ADC(ANALOG TO DIGITAL CONVERTER,200) and a second flash ADC(300).
Abstract:
A low power image sensor in which a reference voltage is automatically adjusted and an integrated circuit integrating the image sensor on one chip are provided to remove a preprocessor having a large chip size and large power consumption to reduce raw costs of an optical pointing image sensor drastically and minimize power consumption. An image sensor unit(100) senses light from a subject and converts and outputs it into an electric signal. A comparing unit(200) receives an electric signal from the image sensor. The comparing unit compares a voltage level of the electric signal with a reference voltage, and then outputs an image signal at 1 bit/pixel. An effective image adjusting unit(300) compares bit value distribution of the image signal outputted from the comparing unit with an effective range to adjust the reference voltage, thereby outputting an effective image.
Abstract:
A frequency tuning circuit of a continuous-time analog filter using an SAR(Successive Approximation Register) scheme is provided to complete frequency tuning efficiently in a short time even at a high tuning resolution by generating a tuning code of an integrator used in the frequency tuning circuit by using the SAR scheme. A frequency tuning circuit of a continuous-time analog filter of an active-RC type generates a frequency tuning code by using an SAR(Successive Approximation Register) scheme. A frequency tuning code generator determines a code of each bit in sequence as decreasing binary weight starting from an uppermost bit. The frequency tuning time takes as long as N clock periods.

PURPOSE: A SAR(Successive Approximation Register) ADC(Analog To Digital Converter) is provided to reduce an installation space by using voltage division resistance instead of using a capacitor array. CONSTITUTION: A preamp part(210) includes first and second MOS transistors(M1,M2) differentially amplify a positive input voltage and a negative input voltage, respectively. A digital/analog converter(240) includes third and fourth MOS transistors(M3,M4) which differentially amplify the output voltage of a voltage divider(241). A SAR control unit(230) outputs a distribution voltage selection signal for selecting a positive DA voltage and a negative DA voltage according to output bit values of a quantizer(220). The quantizer outputs bit values by comparing output currents. The D/A converter selects the positive DA voltage and the negative DA voltage according to the distribution voltage selection signal. The D/A converter changes the output current by differentially amplifying the selected voltage.
