  • Device and method for processing an analogue signal
    Patent number: 8487793
    Abstract: Device for processing an analogue signal, comprising an analogue-digital converter with a pipelined architecture having an offset, and compensation means configured to compensate for the said offset, the said compensation means comprising digital correction means configured to correct the integer portion of the offset based on the digital signal delivered by the analogue-digital converter, and analogue correction means included in the last stage of the analogue-digital converter and configured to correct the decimal portion of the offset.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 23, 2011
    Date of Patent: July 16, 2013
    Assignee: STMicroelectronics SA
    Inventors: Roger Petigny, Hugo Gicquel, Sophie Minot
  • Analog-digital converter with pipeline architecture associated with a programmable gain amplifier
    Patent number: 8274419
    Abstract: A device may include a programmable gain amplifier and an analog-digital converter with pipeline architecture having several stages. The first stage of the analog-digital converter may incorporate the programmable gain amplifier and an analog-digital conversion circuit with a programmable threshold.
