  • Patent number: 8963761
    Abstract: A predictive successive approximation register analog-to-digital conversion device and method are provided. A difference between two input signals of a comparator is detected according to a threshold less than or equal to ½ of a voltage increment represented by one least significant bit (LSB). When a difference between a first analog signal and a second analog signal is less than a threshold, a detection circuit enables a bit in a digital signal corresponding to a comparison cycle to which the difference belongs to be forcedly decided to be a first value and predicts values of the remaining bits.

  • Patent number: 8963603
    Abstract: A clock generation device includes a first delay unit, a frequency divider, an angle delay unit and a first calculating unit. The first delay unit receives an input clock and delays the input clock by a first preset period to generate an input delay clock. The frequency divider divides a frequency of the delay clock to generate a first frequency-divided clock and a second frequency-divided clock. A frequency of each of the first frequency-divided clock and the second frequency-divided clock is a preset multiple of the input delay clock. The angle delay unit delays the first frequency-divided clock by a second preset period to generate a first delay clock. The first calculating unit determines a trigger time of a first edge of a first output clock with reference to voltage levels of the first frequency-divided clock and the first delay clock and determines a falling time of a second edge of the first output clock with reference to voltage levels of the input clock and the first delay clock.

  • Publication number: 20140035771
    Abstract: A predictive successive approximation register analog-to-digital conversion device and method are provided. A difference between two input signals of a comparator is detected according to a threshold less than or equal to 1/2 of a voltage increment represented by one least significant bit (LSB). When a difference between a first analog signal and a second analog signal is less than a threshold, a detection circuit enables a bit in a digital signal corresponding to a comparison cycle to which the difference belongs to be forcedly decided to be a first value and predicts values of the remaining bits.
