  • Analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with improved power disturbance reduction
    Patent number: 10171098
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) for converting an input analog voltage to an output digital code, the ADC comprising a first node of the input analog voltage; nodes of a plurality of reference voltages; a plurality of comparators, inputs of each comparator being coupled to the first node and a node of a corresponding reference voltage of the plurality of reference voltages; a logic circuit block for receiving outputs of the plurality of comparators and generating the output digital code; and a voltage stabilizer, terminals of the voltage stabilizer being coupled with the first node and a node of a first reference voltage among the plurality of reference voltages.
    Type: Grant
