Switched capacitor triple slope capacitance to digital converter
نویسندگان
چکیده
A high accuracy switched capacitor, triple slope digital converter suitable for differential capacitive sensors is presented. The proposed technique accepts differential capacitive sensors possessing either linear or inverse characteristics and provides a linear capacitance to digital conversion. The output is dependent only on a pair of d.c. reference voltages and the clock frequency. Detailed analysis of the proposed scheme establishes that the sensitivity of the scheme to parameter variations is minimal. A prototype implemented and tested for a typical differential capacitive transducer of full-scale 7250pF gave a worst-case error less than 0.05%.

A 12-bit high-speed column-parallel two-step single-slope (SS) analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for CMOS image sensors is proposed. The proposed ADC employs a single ramp voltage and multiple reference voltages, and the conversion is divided into coarse phase and fine phase to improve the conversion rate. An error calibration scheme is proposed to correct errors caused by offsets among the ref...
متن کاملA triple-mode continuous-time sigma delta modulator with switched-capacitor feedback DAC for a GSM- EDGE/CDMA2000/UMTS Receiver
Time jitter in continuous-time modulators is a known limitation on the maximum achievable signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR). Analysis of time jitter in this type of converter shows that a switched-capacitor (SC) feedback digital-to-analog converter (DAC) reduces the sensitivity to time jitter significantly. In this paper, an and continuous-time fifth-order modulator with 1-bit quantizer and SC feedba...
