Jorg Daniels 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).

  • Asynchronous sigma delta analog to digital converter using a time to digital converter
    Patent number: 8451156
    Abstract: This disclosure relates to analog to digital conversion using irregular sampling. A method may include combining an analog signal with a feedback signal into a combined signal, filtering the combined signal using a digital noise shaping filter into a combined noise shaped signal, modulating the combined noise shaped signal into a modulated signal, generating samples of the modulated signal, and reconstructing as a digital signal the analog signal from the samples of the modulated signal.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: November 27, 2010
    Date of Patent: May 28, 2013
    Assignee: Infineon Technologies AG
    Inventors: Jorg Daniels, Wim Dehaene, Andreas Wiesbauer
  • Analog-to-digital converter using oscillators
    Patent number: 8081101
    Abstract: An apparatus is provided which has a first analog input and a second analog input. In a particular implementation, the first analog input is coupled to a first controllable oscillator and the second analog input is coupled to a second controllable oscillator. First and second digital output signals generated based on output oscillations from the first controllable oscillator and the second controllable oscillator are combined.
