Asynchronous analog-to-digital converter having adaptive reference control

An analog signal (AIN) is received and filtered by a filter (202). The input signal is compared by comparison circuit (204) to first and second reference signals from reference circuit (205) to generate a first comparison result, and the first comparison result and a first time stamp corresponding t...

Zusammenfassung:An analog signal (AIN) is received and filtered by a filter (202). The input signal is compared by comparison circuit (204) to first and second reference signals from reference circuit (205) to generate a first comparison result, and the first comparison result and a first time stamp corresponding to the first comparison result are registered. A first portion of a digital signal is generated by conversion circuit (212) from the first comparison result. At least one of the first and second reference signals is adjusted dynamically. A second comparison result is generated if the analog signal reaches an adjusted one of the first and second reference signals within a predetermined interval, and a second portion of the digital signal is generated from the second comparison result.
