  • Patent number: 11881825
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system that comprises an operational amplifier with adjustable operational parameters and a trimming module. The trimming module can adjust the operational parameters of the op-amp based on a memory value to compensate for an offset voltage of the op-amp. The trimming module can comprise successive approximation register (SAR) logic that controls the memory value. The SAR logic can be configured to detect a given memory value that causes an output voltage of the op-amp to be within a predetermined voltage interval when applying a predetermined common mode voltage to inverting and non-inverting inputs of the op-amp.

  • Publication number: 20220360239
    Abstract: Disclosed is a system comprising a plurality of operational amplifiers, each operational amplifier having individually adjustable operational parameters, and a trimming circuit. The trimming circuit includes successive approximation register (SAR) logic that determines associated memory values. The trimming circuit changes the adjustable operational parameters of each operation amplifier based on the associated memory values.

  • Patent number: 10305507
    Abstract: A first-order sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter includes an input terminal, an integrator circuit, a comparator, and control circuitry. The input terminal is configured to receive a unipolar input signal to be digitized. The integrator circuit is coupled to the input terminal. The comparator is coupled to an output of the integrator circuit. The control circuitry is coupled to the integrator circuit and the comparator. The control circuitry is configured to equalize time that an output signal generated by the integrator circuit is greater than zero and time that the output signal generated by the integrator circuit is less than zero during digitization of the unipolar input signal.

  • Patent number: 9195341
    Abstract: Touch screen controllers and methods are presented for removing charger noise and other high frequency noise from touch screens in the presence of aliasing in which a digital low pass filter rejects the high frequency noise, a noise tracker determines whether noise is being aliased into the low pass filter pass band, and a noise shaper artificially induces or modifies aliasing in the system by adjusting an analog-to-digital converter sampling frequency and/or a panel scan frequency to try to move the aliased noise outside the low pass filter pass band.
