  • Patent number: 9325313
    Abstract: A low-power level-shift circuit for data-dependent signals includes a buffer circuit, a coupling capacitor, and a biasing circuit. The buffer circuit is biased by a low-voltage domain voltage supply and configured to receive a data-dependent signal. The coupling capacitor is coupled, at a first node, to an output node of the buffer circuit. The biasing circuit is coupled to a second node of the coupling capacitor and a switch. The level-shift circuit can translate a voltage level of the received data-dependent signal to a high-voltage domain that is suitable for proper operation of the switch.

  • Publication number: 20080088493
    Abstract: A voltage interpolation circuit includes a resistive ladder connected between ground and a voltage input and having a plurality of resistors with voltage taps between the resistors. An amplifier (optionally) has first and second capacitors connected together at their respective first terminals and to an input of the amplifier. A first plurality of switches connect respective taps to a second terminal of the first capacitor. A second plurality of switches connect the respective taps to a second terminal of the second capacitor. An output voltage is interpolated by controlling the first and second pluralities of switches.

  • Publication number: 20070176664
    Abstract: A programmable gain attenuator (PGA) in particular to be used in a track-and-hold circuit is disclosed. The PGA is located in the feedback path around an operational amplifier. One tap switch is used to connect one PGA section to the output of the operational amplifier. The PGA section is capable of producing a multiplicity of different gain settings by using a multiplicity of secondary resistive devices in a voltage divider, wherein the resistive devices each can be independently coupled to a reference voltage.

  • Publication number: 20060164126
    Abstract: A differential comparator with improved bit-error rate performance operating with a low supply voltage. The differential comparator includes a first pair of transistors receiving a differential input. A second pair of transistors is coupled to the first pair of transistors. A pair of resistive elements is connected between the first pair and second pair of transistors so as to increase bias currents shared by the first and second pairs of transistors. The increased bias currents reduce a time required by the differential comparator to transition from a meta-stable state to a stable state, thereby improving a bit-error rate of the differential comparator. The resistive elements can use linear resistors or transmission gates. Gates of either the first or second pair of transistors can provide an output.

  • Publication number: 20050162195
    Abstract: A method for reducing bit errors in an analog to digital converter having an array of comparators. The outputs of first and second comparators are received as in inputs to an Exclusive OR gate. The first and second comparators are separated in the array by a third comparator. The output of the Exclusive OR gate is used to determine if the third comparator is in a metastable condition. If the third comparator is in a metastable condition, the bias current of the latch circuit of the third comparator is increased to increase the rate at which the third comparator transitions to a steady state.
