  • Publication number: 20230299783
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor integrated circuit includes a first converter, a second converter, and an adjustment circuit. The first converter is configured to sample an analog signal and convert the sampled analog signal to a first digital value based on a first clock signal. The second converter is configured to sample the analog signal and convert the sampled analog signal to a second digital value based on a second clock signal shifted a first phase from the first clock signal. The adjustment circuit is configured to adjust at least one of a gain of each of the first digital value and the second digital value and a phase of each of the first clock signal and the second clock signal based on the first digital value and the second digital value.

  • Publication number: 20170033759
    Abstract: A band-pass filter circuit includes a low-pass filter, a high-pass filter including an integrator, and a controller. The controller is configured to increase a cut-off frequency of the high-pass filter for a predetermined period of time, when changing a gain of the low-pass filter. Further, the controller is configured to increase a cut-off frequency of the low-pass filter or decrease a Q value of the low-pass filter for the predetermined period of time.

  • Patent number: 8416115
    Abstract: An SAR-ADC includes input and reference terminals, first and second capacitor sets, a dummy capacitor, a comparator, a switch, and a logic. The first and second capacitor sets include first and second capacitors, respectively. The first capacitor has a first capacitance. The second capacitor has a second capacitance. The dummy capacitor has a third capacitance. The comparator compares an output voltage with a ground voltage and outputs a digital output code in accordance with a difference between the output and ground voltages. The switch is connected among the first capacitors of the first and second capacitor sets, and the reference terminal. The logic turns the switch based on the digital output code. The input terminal is located between the first and second capacitors of the first capacitor set. The second capacitor of the first capacitor set is located between the first and second capacitors of the second capacitor set.
