  • INTEGRATED ELECTRONIC DEVICE INCLUDING A FULL SCALE ADJUSTMENT STAGE FOR SIGNALS SUPPLIED BY A MEMS SENSOR
    Publication number: 20160370207
    Abstract: A MEMS sensor generates an output multiscale reading signal supplied to a full scale adjustment stage. The full scale adjustment stage includes a signal input configured to receive the reading signal, a saturation assessment block, and a full scale change block. The saturation assessment block is coupled to the signal input and configured to generate a scale increase request signal upon detection of a saturation condition. The full scale change block is coupled to the saturation assessment block and configured to generate a full scale change signal upon reception of the scale increase request signal.

  • Method and device for analog-to-digital conversion of signals, corresponding apparatus
    Patent number: 9455732
    Abstract: One or more first signals and one or more second signals, wherein the second signal(s) are slowly varying or low frequency signals in comparison with the first signals and are converted from analog to digital by sampling the first signals and the second signals to produce samples thereof for analog-to-digital conversion, subjecting the samples of the first signals to conversion to digital at a certain conversion rate, subjecting the samples of the second signal to conversion to digital by segments so that these segments are subjected to conversion to digital along with the samples of the first signals at the respective conversion rate, and reconstructing digital converted samples of the second signal from the segments subjected to conversion to digital.
