  • Patent number: 9374105
    Abstract: A converter may generate an analog output that is representative of a time-encoded signal. The circuit may include an input port receiving the time-encoded signal; a time-encoded to digital converter coupled to the input port; and a digital-to-analog converter coupled to the time-encoded to digital converter.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 7026975
    Abstract: High speed digital path for successive approximation analog-to-digital converters wherein the successive approximation registers and the switch drivers are combined in set-reset latches having the switch drivers as latch outputs. This reduces the time of each successive approximation by reducing the ripple through time of each stage, thereby increasing the speed of operation of the analog-to-digital converters. As an option, the set-reset latches having the switch drivers as latch outputs may also incorporate level shifting to combine each stage of the successive approximation register, associated switch drivers and level shifters into a single circuit for each stage of the analog-to-digital converter. Various embodiments are disclosed.
