Patents by Inventor Hun-Bae CHOI

Hun-Bae CHOI has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Publication number: 20230396267
    Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and an operation method thereof are provided. The ADC includes: a comparator which compares a signal input through a first input terminal and a signal input through a second input terminal, and outputs an output value according to the comparison result. A successive approximation register receives the output value of the comparator, sets digital signal values from a most significant bit to a least significant bit, and outputs the digital signal values. A digital-to-analog converter receives the digital signal values, and converts it into an analog signal based on a reference voltage Vref, and outputs it to the second input terminal. A noise component is added to the input signal and to the analog signal Vdac?.
