摘要： A method for charge balancing in a current input ADC including maintaining a low capacitance value at the integrator output node where the capacitance value is independent of the integrator output voltage and operating conditions, generating a first voltage pedestal at a first active device switch at the end of the autozero phase having a first voltage polarity and a first magnitude, generating a second voltage pedestal at a second active device switch at the end of the integration phase having an opposite voltage polarity and the first magnitude, and summing the first voltage pedestal with the second voltage pedestal. The difference between the first voltage pedestal and the second voltage pedestal results in a net voltage error. The first and second voltage pedestals have the first magnitude under all operating conditions of the modulator and the two voltage pedestals cancel to yield a small net voltage error.

摘要： A frequency ratio digitizing temperature sensor for generating a linearity-corrected temperature output signal includes an input generation circuit receiving a PTAT current and a CTAT current and a frequency ratio ADC including data and reference oscillators. The input generation circuit generates a first current from the weighted sum of the PTAT current and the CTAT current and also generates a first corrected current being the sum of the first current and a first portion of the PTAT current. The input generation circuit provides a first output current indicative of the PTAT current and a first output voltage generated by applying the first corrected current to a first resistor for use with the data oscillator and provides a second output current being the first corrected current and a second output voltage generated by applying the first current to a second resistor for use with the reference oscillator of the ADC.

摘要： A dual-channel instrumentation amplifier includes two channels of PMOS transistor differential pairs which are configured in a Y-connection and cross-coupled to two diode-connected NMOS transistors. Each input channel has a non-linear voltage-current characteristic. But when the differential currents cancel at the NMOS transistor diodes, both input channels have the same differential input voltage, regardless of any non-linearity. As thus configured, a high accuracy instrumentation amplifier which operates in current mode is realized with excellent DC matching and high common mode rejection ratio. In one embodiment, the dual-channel instrumentation amplifier is used as input stage for the linear comparator to enable the linear comparator to operate at a high rate of speed with excellent channel matching.

摘要： The maximum allowable number of voltage programming pulses to program memory elements of a non-volatile memory device is adjusted to account for changes in the memory elements which occur over time. Programming pulses are applied until the threshold voltage of one or more memory elements reaches a certain verify level, after which a defined maximum number of additional pulses may be applied to other memory elements to allow them to also reach associated target threshold voltage levels. The technique enforces a maximum allowable number of programming pulses that can change over time as the memory is cycled.

摘要： A self-regulating current source is formed by a PMOS current mirror and an interconnected pair of NMOS transistors. The NMOS transistors are sized differently and forced to operate at similar currents. The difference of the Vgs voltages of the NMOS transistors is impressed across the resistor to develop a stable output current. In particular, the current source starts reliably at low supply voltages and operates to reliably generate a stable low output current at a well-controlled operating point. The self-regulating current source can be used effectively as the watchdog current source of a power-on reset circuit to ensure reliable and robust operation even at low Vdd voltage values.

摘要： A circuit in an integrated circuit for measuring temperature dependent voltages of a temperature sensing element includes a voltage generator circuit providing the temperature dependent voltages, a first sampling switch and a second sampling switch. The voltage generator circuit includes a temperature sensing element being excited by a first switched current and a second switched current. The first and second sampling switches sample a first voltage and a second voltage at the temperature sensing element while the temperature sensing element is being excited by the second current and the first current, respectively. Each of the first and second sampling switches includes a boosted switch circuit incorporating a pedestal voltage compensation circuit. The sampled first and second voltages are coupled to be stored on capacitors external to the integrated circuit. The difference between the first voltage and the second voltage is measured to determine the temperature of the integrated circuit.

摘要： A digitizing temperature measurement system for providing a digital temperature measurement includes an excitation source for providing switched excitation currents to two or three temperature sensing elements and an ADC circuit including a charge-balancing modulator and a digital post processing circuit. The system utilizes synchronous AC excitation of the temperature sensing elements and an AC coupled analog-to-digital converter input. The temperature measurement system also implements correlated double sampling for noise cancellation to provide low noise and highly accurate analog-to-digital conversions. The modulator receives a charge domain reference signal generated by a reference charge packet generator incorporating a charge based bandgap subsystem. Therefore, the temperature measurement system can be operated at very low supply voltages, such as 1.0 Vdc. A low noise and highly accurate temperature measurement system is thus realized where temperature measurements of very high resolutions (up to 16 bit) can be attained.
