Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of successive approximation analog-to-digital converters, and in particular to a second-order passive noise shaping successive approximation analog-to-digital converter, a noise shaping method, a noise shaping device, and a readable storage medium. Background Art
[0002] Analog-to-digital converters are mainly divided into Nyquist rate analog-to-digital converters and oversampling analog-to-digital converters. One of the most representative types of Nyquist rate analog-to-digital converters is the successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR DAC for short). The most widely used oversampling analog-to-digital converter is the Σ-Δ ADC. Due to the existence of comparator noise and DAC settling error, SAR ADC is widely used in medium speed and medium precision fields. Σ-Δ ADC has high precision, but its internal active loop filter requires an integrator, and the core unit in the integrator is an operational amplifier. The operational amplifier not only has a large power consumption, but also reduces the conversion rate of the system. Therefore, Σ-Δ ADC is widely used in low speed and high precision fields.
[0003] The noise shaping successive approximation analog-to-digital converter applies the oversampling technology and noise shaping technology in Σ-Δ to SAR DAC. It has the advantages of medium speed and high power efficiency of SARDAC and the advantages of high precision of Σ-Δ. Some of the existing noise shaping successive approximation analog-to-digital converters use active loop filters, which still have relatively high power consumption; while some use passive loop filter structures. Although they can effectively reduce the complexity of system design and power consumption, they usually only achieve first-order noise shaping. When using switched capacitors to sample the residual voltage, KT / C noise and gain loss will be introduced. At the same time, the passive loop filter of this structure requires a multi-input pair comparator, which increases the comparator noise, so the noise shaping effect is not very ideal.

[0043] Understandable, reference Figure 1 As shown, the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 is a differential structure, which includes a plurality of capacitors ( Figure 1 The input end of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 includes the input end of the positive capacitor array and the input end of the negative capacitor array. In the sampling phase, the switch Φ s The voltage to be measured (V in / V ip In the conversion stage, the comparison result of the multi-input comparator 120 received by the SAR logic control circuit 130 can be used to measure the voltage V in / V ip Continue to search the binary interval and compare it with V ref / 2, V ref / 2±V ref / 4, Vref / 2±V ref / 4±V ref / 8……to compare, thus gradually approaching the voltage to be measured V in and V ip The interval where the equivalent voltage to be measured V is finally obtained in and V ip digital signal.
[0044] The analog-to-digital converter can be in a periodic working mode, wherein each conversion cycle may include two stages: a conversion stage and a residual integration stage; taking the current conversion cycle as an example, in the conversion stage, the passive loop filter circuit 140 is in a non-working state, that is, the residual sampling unit 141, the first integration unit 142 and the second integration unit 143 thereof are all non-working, and the timing control circuit 150 enters a new conversion cycle after receiving the conversion result of the previous conversion cycle, that is, starts to drive the SAR logic control circuit, and then the SAR logic control circuit first controls the capacitors in each capacitor array of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 to receive the voltage to be measured at one end and the common-mode voltage at the other end to realize voltage sampling. After the sampling is completed, the switch Φ sDisconnect, and shift by adjusting each switch in the capacitor array to adjust the output voltage of the capacitor digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110, so that the output voltage approaches the voltage to be measured in each shift process, until the shift is completed to generate the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle. Assume that the output voltage of the first differential output terminal of the capacitor digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 in the process of successive approximation is VCP, and the output voltage of the second differential output terminal is VCN, wherein during the shift period, the multi-input comparator converts and outputs according to the current output voltage and the integral voltage of the previous conversion cycle, and then drives the SAR logic control circuit to control the shift of the next bit through the timing control circuit 150, until the shift of the current conversion cycle is completed, the multi-input comparator 120 converts and outputs according to the output voltage of the capacitor digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 after the last shift and the integral voltage of the previous conversion cycle output by the passive loop filter circuit 140, and finally the conversion result of the current conversion cycle can be obtained, and the timing control circuit 150 receives the conversion result of the current conversion cycle and then starts the next round of conversion cycle, and so on. The integral voltage of the previous conversion cycle is the integral voltage obtained by charging the first integral unit 142 and the second integral unit 143 respectively after the residual sampling unit 141 collects the residual voltage in the previous conversion cycle. Then, the residual integration stage is entered. After the residual voltage is obtained, the timing control circuit 150 controls the residual sampling unit 141 to collect the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle, and charges the first integral unit 142 and the second integral unit 143 respectively based on the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle, so as to obtain the integral voltage of the current conversion cycle for the conversion stage of the next conversion cycle. The output voltage of the first differential output terminal is VCP, and the output voltage of the second differential output terminal is VCN.
[0045] The following calculation proves that the analog-to-digital converter has a good noise shaping effect.
[0046] The integrated voltage includes a first integrated voltage after charging the first integration unit 142, and a second integrated voltage after charging the second integration unit 143. The multi-input comparator 120 can be a six-input comparator. The terminal connected to the first integration unit 142 of the comparator is set to GM_INT1, the terminal connected to the second integration unit 143 is set to GM_INT2, and the terminal connected to the capacitive digital-to-analog converter is set to GM_VIN. The output ratio between the terminals is set to GM_INT1 = 4GM_VIN; GM_INT2 = 16GM_VIN, then there is an output D out (z) is set to:
[0047] D out (z) = V in (z)+4V INT1 (z)+16V INT2 (z)+Q(z)
[0048] Among them, V in (z) is the voltage V to be measured converted to the complex frequency domain in , V INT1 (z) is the first integrated voltage converted to the complex frequency domain, V INT2 (z) is the second integrated voltage converted to the complex frequency domain, Q(z) includes the quantization error and the comparator equivalent input noise. Combining the above formula, the residual voltage V in the complex frequency domain res (z) can be expressed as:
[0049] V res (z) = V in (z)-D out (z)
[0050] =-4V INT1 (z)-16V INT2 (z)-Q(z)
[0051] refer to Figure 2 As shown, let the residual voltage be V res , the total capacitance of the positive and negative capacitor matrix is C DAC For the convenience of calculation, let the capacitance value of the residual sampling unit 141 be The capacitance value of the first integration unit 142 and the capacitance value of the second integration unit 143 are both C DAC ; The opening and closing of switch S1 represents the control of charging the residual sampling unit 141, the opening and closing of switch S2 represents the control of charging the first integration unit 142, and the opening and closing of switch S3 represents the control of charging the second integration unit 143; when the residual sampling unit 141 collects the residual voltage (that is, only switch S1 is closed), the charge forming the residual voltage is redistributed between the capacitor matrix and the residual sampling unit 141, and the voltage sampled by the residual sampling unit 141 is represented by V res ', then the residual sampling unit 141 charges the first integration unit 142 (ie, only the switch s2 is closed), forming a voltage V res The charge of ' is redistributed between the residual sampling unit 141 and the first integration unit 142, and the voltage of the first integration unit 142 after charging is expressed as V INTI
[0052] Then the residual sampling unit 141 charges the second integration unit 143 (that is, only the switch s3 is closed), forming a voltage V res The charge of the residual sampling unit 141 is redistributed between the residual sampling unit 141 and the first integration unit 142, and the voltage of the second integration unit 143 after charging is expressed as V INT2 , assuming that the initial VINT1 and VINT2 are both 0, based on the charge conservation principle, the nth conversion cycle can be obtained as:

[0075] The noise transfer function (NTF) has two zeros located at Z=0.75. When Z=1, NTF=1 / 16. Therefore, based on the structure of the above analog-to-digital converter, by reasonably setting the residual sampling unit 141, the first integration unit 142 and the capacitance value of the first integration unit 142, theoretically, -24dB noise suppression can be achieved.
[0076] In the above method, in each conversion cycle, the timing control circuit 150 controls the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 to perform voltage sampling of the current conversion cycle according to the conversion result of the previous conversion cycle, and generates an output voltage that is close to the voltage to be measured based on the sampled voltage until the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle is generated. Then, on the one hand, the multi-input comparator performs conversion and output according to the output voltage of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 and the integral voltage of the previous conversion cycle output by the passive loop filter circuit 140 to obtain the conversion result of the current conversion cycle. On the other hand, the timing control circuit 150 controls the residual sampling unit 141 to collect the current conversion cycle. The residual voltage of the current conversion cycle is obtained, and the first integration unit 142 and the second integration unit 143 are charged in sequence based on the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle to obtain the integration voltage of the current conversion cycle for use in the conversion output of the next conversion cycle. In this way, by performing a second-order integration of the residual voltage at the end of each conversion cycle and using it for the conversion output of the next conversion cycle, the KT / C noise and gain loss during residual sampling can be eliminated, while the comparator noise is reduced, and the signal-to-noise ratio and spurious-free dynamic range of the analog-to-digital converter are improved. In addition, since the passive loop filter circuit 140 is used, the power consumption and design complexity of the entire analog-to-digital converter are also low.
[0077] In one embodiment, the capacitance value of the residual sampling unit 141 is equal to one third of the capacitance value of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 ; the capacitance value of the first integration unit 142 and the capacitance value of the second integration unit 143 are respectively equal to the capacitance value of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 .
[0078] It can be understood that, assuming that the capacitance value of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 is C DAC , then the capacitance value of the residual sampling unit 141 is The capacitance value of the first integration unit 142 and the capacitance value of the second integration unit 143 are both C DAC From the calculation process of the above embodiment, it can be obtained that the final noise suppression can reach -24dB. By setting the capacitance value in this way, the overall noise of the analog-to-digital converter can be greatly reduced.
[0079] In one embodiment, Figure 3As shown, each residual sampling unit 141 includes a sampling capacitor Cs and a sampling switch S0; the first end of the sampling switch S0 is connected to the target differential output end, and the second end of the sampling switch S0 is respectively connected to the first end of the sampling capacitor Cs, the first integration unit 142 and the second integration unit 143; the second end of the sampling capacitor Cs is connected to the ground end; wherein the target differential output end is the first differential output end or the second differential output end.
[0080] It can be understood that the number of the residual sampling units 141 is two. For the residual sampling unit 141 connected to the first differential output terminal, the first end of the sampling switch S0 therein is connected to the first differential output terminal, and for the residual sampling unit 141 connected to the second differential output terminal, the first end of the sampling switch S0 therein is connected to the second differential output terminal.
[0081] By controlling the sampling switch S0 to close, the sampling capacitor Cs can be charged, that is, the residual sampling unit 141 can be charged. The residual sampling unit 141 has a simple structure and is easy to control.
[0082] In one embodiment, the first integration unit 142 includes a first switch S1 and a first integration capacitor C1; the second integration unit 143 includes a second switch S2 and a second integration capacitor C2; the first end of the first switch S1 and the first end of the second switch S2 are respectively connected to the first end of the sampling capacitor Cs; the second end of the first switch S1 and the first end of the first integration capacitor C1 are respectively connected to the multi-input comparator 120; the second end of the first integration capacitor C1 is connected to the ground; the second end of the second switch S2 and the first end of the second integration capacitor C2 are respectively connected to the multi-input comparator 120; the second end of the second integration capacitor C2 is connected to the ground.
[0083] It can be understood that the first integrating unit 142 and the second integrating unit 143 may include a switch and a capacitor respectively, and the charging of the capacitor is controlled by opening and closing the switch, which has a simple structure and is easy to control.
[0084] In one embodiment, the analog-to-digital converter further includes a third switch S3; a first end of the third switch S3 is connected to the residual sampling unit 141, and a second end of the third switch S3 is connected to the ground. The timing control circuit 150 is also used to control the third switch S3 to close before controlling the residual sampling unit 141 to collect the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle, so that the residual sampling unit 141 is discharged.
[0085] Specifically, when the residual sampling unit 141 includes a sampling capacitor Cs and a sampling switch S0, a first end of the third switch S3 is connected to a first end of the sampling capacitor Cs, and a second end of the third switch S3 is connected to a ground end. The timing control circuit 150 is further configured to close the third switch S3 before controlling the residual sampling unit 141 to collect the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle, so as to discharge the sampling capacitor Cs. This can prevent the sampling capacitor Cs from having a residual voltage of the previous conversion cycle, thereby affecting the integral voltage of the current conversion cycle.
[0086] In one embodiment, the timing control circuit 150 controls the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 to perform voltage sampling in the current conversion cycle at the moment when the charging of the first integration unit in the previous conversion cycle ends.
[0087] It can be understood that since the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 performs voltage sampling at the beginning of each conversion cycle, and since the voltage sampling process and the integration process of the residual voltage do not interfere with each other, in order to shorten the overall conversion time, the timing control circuit 150 can control the charging of the first integration unit 142 using the residual voltage to end, and then start the voltage sampling of the next conversion cycle.
[0088] Specifically, the first switch S1 is used to control the charging of the first integration unit 142, the second switch S2 is used to control the charging of the second integration unit 143, and the switch Φ s The capacitor type digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 is controlled to realize voltage acquisition, and the switch Φ s The closing time can be referred to Figure 4 The time t1 shown is the charging end time of the first integration unit 142. In this way, the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 has completed the voltage acquisition of the next conversion cycle when the charging of the second integration unit 143 ends, thus saving the overall conversion time of the analog-to-digital converter.
[0089] The embodiment of the present invention also provides a noise shaping method, which is applied to a second-order passive noise shaping successive approximation analog-to-digital converter. The second-order passive noise shaping successive approximation analog-to-digital converter includes a capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110, a multi-input comparator 120, a SAR logic control circuit 130 and two groups of passive loop filter circuits 140; the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 is connected to the SAR logic control circuit, the first differential output end of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 is connected to the first input end of the multi-input comparator 120, and the second differential output end of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 is connected to the second input end of the multi-input comparator 120; each passive loop filter circuit 140 includes a residual sampling unit 141, a first integration unit 142 and a second integration unit 143; each residual sampling unit 141 is connected to the first differential output end and the second differential output end in a one-to-one correspondence; the first integration unit 142 and the second integration unit 143 are connected to the first differential output end and the second differential output end in a one-to-one correspondence; 43 are respectively connected to the residual sampling unit 141 of the same group, and are connected to the multi-input comparator 120; the SAR logic control circuit is driven according to the conversion result of the previous conversion cycle to control the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 to perform voltage sampling of the current conversion cycle, and based on the sampled voltage, an output voltage that successively approximates the voltage to be measured is generated until the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle is generated; the multi-input comparator is used to convert and output according to the output voltage of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 and the integral voltage of the previous conversion cycle output by the passive loop filter circuit 140, so as to obtain the conversion result of the current conversion cycle; the noise shaping method also includes: controlling the residual sampling unit 141 to collect the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle, and charging the first integral unit 142 and the second integral unit 143 respectively based on the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle, so as to obtain the integral voltage of the current conversion cycle for the conversion output of the next conversion cycle.
[0090] It can be understood that the noise shaping method can be implemented by the timing control circuit 150, and the timing control circuit 150 can be provided inside the second-order passive noise shaping successive approximation analog-to-digital converter or provided by an external device.
[0091] The capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 is a differential structure, which includes a plurality of capacitors ( Figure 1 The input end of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 includes the input end of the positive capacitor array and the input end of the negative capacitor array. One end of each capacitor in the positive capacitor array is connected in common as the input end of the positive capacitor array, which can be switched between the switch Φ s The voltage to be measured (V ip / V in ); through the control of each switch, with the comparison result of the multi-input comparator 120 received by the SAR logic control circuit 130, the voltage to be measured V inContinue to search the binary interval and compare it with V ref / 2, V ref / 2±V ref / 4, V ref / 2±V ref / 4±V ref / 8……to compare, thus gradually approaching the voltage to be measured V in and V ip The interval where the equivalent voltage to be measured V is finally obtained in and V ip digital signal.
[0092] The analog-to-digital converter may be in a periodic working mode, wherein each conversion cycle may include two stages: a conversion stage and a residual integration stage; taking the current conversion cycle as an example, in the conversion stage, the passive loop filter circuit 140 is in a non-working state, that is, the residual sampling unit 141, the first integration unit 142 and the second integration unit 143 thereof are all non-working, and after receiving the conversion result of the previous conversion cycle, a new conversion cycle is entered, that is, the SAR logic control circuit is started to be driven, and then the SAR logic control circuit first controls one end of the capacitor in each capacitor array of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 to receive the voltage to be measured and the other end to receive the common-mode voltage to realize voltage sampling, and after the sampling is completed, the switch Φ sDisconnect, shift by adjusting each switch in the capacitor array to adjust the output voltage of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110, so that the output voltage gradually approaches the voltage to be measured during each shift process, until the shift is completed to generate the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle, assuming that the output voltage of the first differential output terminal of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 during the successive approximation process is VCP, and the output voltage of the second differential output terminal is VCN. During the shift, the multi-input comparator performs conversion and output according to the current output voltage and the integral voltage of the previous conversion cycle, and then drives the SAR logic control circuit to control the shift of the next bit, until the shift of the current conversion cycle is completed, the conversion result of the current conversion cycle can be obtained, and the next round of conversion cycle is started after the conversion result of the current conversion cycle is received, and so on. The multi-input comparator 120 converts and outputs the output voltage of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 and the integrated voltage of the previous conversion cycle output by the passive loop filter circuit 140 to obtain the conversion result of the current conversion cycle; wherein, the integrated voltage of the previous conversion cycle is the integrated voltage obtained by the residual sampling unit 141 after the residual voltage is collected in the previous conversion cycle, and the first integration unit 142 and the second integration unit 143 are respectively charged. Then, the residual integration stage is entered. After the residual voltage is obtained, the residual sampling unit 141 is controlled to collect the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle, and the first integration unit 142 and the second integration unit 143 are respectively charged based on the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle to obtain the integrated voltage of the current conversion cycle, which is used for the conversion stage of the next conversion cycle.
[0093] The noise shaping results achieved by the above method can be referred to Figure 1 The analysis of the embodiments will not be repeated here.
[0094] In the above method, in each conversion cycle, the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 is controlled to perform voltage sampling of the current conversion cycle according to the conversion result of the previous conversion cycle, and an output voltage that is close to the voltage to be measured is generated based on the sampled voltage until the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle is generated. Then, on the one hand, the multi-input comparator performs conversion and output according to the output voltage of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 and the integral voltage of the previous conversion cycle output by the passive loop filter circuit 140 to obtain the conversion result of the current conversion cycle. On the other hand, the residual sampling unit 141 is controlled to collect the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle, and based on The residual voltage of the current conversion cycle charges the first integration unit 142 and the second integration unit 143 respectively to obtain the integration voltage of the current conversion cycle for use in the conversion output of the next conversion cycle. In this way, by performing a second-order integration of the residual voltage at the end of each conversion cycle and using it for the conversion output of the next conversion cycle, the KT / C noise and gain loss during residual sampling can be eliminated, while the comparator noise is reduced, and the signal-to-noise ratio and spurious-free dynamic range of the analog-to-digital converter are improved. In addition, since a passive loop filter circuit 140 is used, the power consumption and design complexity of the entire analog-to-digital converter are also low.
[0095] In one embodiment, the capacitance value of the residual sampling unit 141 is equal to one third of the capacitance value of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 ; the capacitance value of the first integration unit 142 and the capacitance value of the second integration unit 143 are respectively equal to the capacitance value of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 .
[0096] According to Figure 1 It can be seen from the analysis results of the embodiment that the overall noise of the analog-to-digital converter can be greatly reduced by setting the numerical value of the capacitance.
[0097] In one embodiment, each residual sampling unit 141 includes a sampling capacitor Cs and a sampling switch S0; the first end of the sampling switch S0 is connected to the target differential output end, and the second end of the sampling switch S0 is respectively connected to the first end of the sampling capacitor Cs, the first integration unit 142 and the second integration unit 143; the second end of the sampling capacitor Cs is connected to the ground end; wherein the target differential output end is the first differential output end or the second differential output end; controlling the residual sampling unit 141 to collect the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle includes: controlling the sampling switch S0 to be closed so that the sampling capacitor Cs collects the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle.
[0098] It can be understood that the number of the residual sampling units 141 is two. For the residual sampling unit 141 connected to the first differential output terminal, the first end of the sampling switch S0 therein is connected to the first differential output terminal, and for the residual sampling unit 141 connected to the second differential output terminal, the first end of the sampling switch S0 therein is connected to the second differential output terminal.
[0099] Among them, the timing control of the sampling switch S0 can refer to Figure 4 , which can be closed after the next clock cycle after the multi-input comparator 120 completes the comparison of each bit data of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 (taking 6 bits as an example in the figure) and generates the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle. In addition, Figure 4 EN is an enable signal for starting the timing control, CLK is a reference clock signal, and CLK_COMP is a clock signal for driving the multi-input comparator 120 to perform comparison.
[0100] By controlling the sampling switch S0 to close, the sampling capacitor Cs can be charged, that is, the residual sampling unit 141 can be charged. The residual sampling unit 141 has a simple structure and is easy to control.
[0101] In one embodiment, the first integration unit 142 includes a first switch S1 and a first integration capacitor C1; the second integration unit 143 includes a second switch S2 and a second integration capacitor C2; the first end of the first switch S1 and the first end of the second switch S2 are respectively connected to the first end of the sampling capacitor Cs; the second end of the first switch S1 and the first end of the first integration capacitor C1 are respectively connected to the multi-input comparator 120; the second end of the first integration capacitor C1 is connected to the ground; the second end of the second switch S2 and the first end of the second integration capacitor C2 are respectively connected to the multi-input comparator 120; the second end of the second integration capacitor C2 is connected to the ground; the first integration unit 142 and the second integration unit 143 are respectively charged based on the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle, including: disconnecting the sampling switch S0 and closing the first switch S1, so that the sampling capacitor Cs charges the first integration capacitor C1; disconnecting the first switch S1 and closing the second switch S2, so that the discharged sampling capacitor Cs charges the second integration capacitor C2.
[0102] It can be understood that after the residual voltage is collected by closing the sampling switch S0, the sampling switch S0 is first opened, and the first switch S1 is closed, so that the sampling capacitor Cs charges the first integration capacitor C1. The control timing of the first switch S1 can refer to Figure 4 As shown, it can be located in the next clock cycle after the sampling switch S0 is turned off; when the first integral capacitor C1 is fully charged, the first switch S1 is turned off, and the second switch S2 is closed, so that the sampling capacitor Cs discharged to the first integral capacitor C1 charges the second integral capacitor C2. The control timing of the second switch S2 can refer to Figure 4 As shown, it may be located in the next clock cycle after the first switch S1 is turned off.
[0103] In one embodiment, the analog-to-digital converter further includes a third switch S3; a first end of the third switch S3 is connected to the residual sampling unit 141, and a second end of the third switch S3 is connected to the ground. The noise shaping method further includes: before controlling the residual sampling unit 141 to collect the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle, controlling the third switch S3 to close so that the residual sampling unit 141 is discharged.
[0104] It can be understood that before controlling the residual sampling unit 141 to collect the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle, the third switch S3 is closed to discharge the sampling capacitor Cs, so as to avoid the residual voltage of the previous conversion cycle remaining in the sampling capacitor Cs, thereby preventing the sampling capacitor Cs from affecting the integrated voltage of the current conversion cycle.
[0105] In one embodiment, controlling the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 to perform voltage sampling in the current conversion cycle includes: controlling the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 to perform voltage sampling in the current conversion cycle at the charging end time of the first integration unit in the previous conversion cycle.
[0106] It can be understood that since the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 performs voltage sampling at the beginning of each conversion cycle, and since the voltage sampling process and the integration process of the residual voltage do not interfere with each other, in order to shorten the overall conversion time, the voltage sampling of the next conversion cycle can be started at the end of the charging of the first integration unit 142 using the residual voltage.
[0107] Specifically, the first switch S1 is used to control the charging of the first integration unit 142, the second switch S2 is used to control the charging of the second integration unit 143, and the switch Φ s The capacitor type digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 is controlled to realize voltage acquisition, and the switch Φ s The closing time can be referred to Figure 4 The time t1 shown is the charging end time of the first integration unit 142. In this way, the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 has completed the voltage acquisition of the next conversion cycle when the charging of the second integration unit 143 ends, thus saving the overall conversion time of the analog-to-digital converter.

[0111] like Figure 5 As shown, at the beginning of the conversion cycle, the SAR logic control circuit is first driven according to the conversion result of the previous conversion cycle to control the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 to collect voltage, and the common mode voltage and the voltage to be measured V are combined to realize in and V ip The capacitor matrix is charged, and then the switch Φ is switched after the sampling is completed. s Disconnect, and shift by adjusting each switch in the capacitor array to adjust the output voltage of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110, so that the output voltage gradually approaches the voltage to be measured during each shift process, until the shift is completed to generate the residual voltage of the current conversion cycle, wherein during the shift period, the multi-input comparator converts and outputs according to the current output voltage and the integral voltage of the previous conversion cycle, and then drives the SAR logic control circuit to control the shift of the next bit, until the shift of the current conversion cycle is completed, the multi-input comparator 120 converts and outputs according to the output voltage of the capacitive digital-to-analog conversion circuit 110 and the integral voltage of the previous conversion cycle output by the passive loop filter circuit 140, and the conversion result of the current conversion cycle can be obtained. After receiving the conversion result of the current conversion cycle, the next round of conversion cycle starts, and so on. Then, the residual integration stage is entered. After the residual voltage is obtained, the sampling switch S0 is controlled to be closed, so that the sampling capacitor Cs samples the residual voltage. Then, the sampling switch S0 is disconnected, and the first switch S1 is closed, so that the sampling capacitor Cs discharges to the first integral capacitor C1 to charge the first integral capacitor C1. After the charging is completed, the first switch S1 is disconnected and the second switch S2 is closed, so that the discharged sampling capacitor Cs charges the second integral capacitor C2. In this way, the integral voltage of the current conversion cycle, that is, the charging voltage on the first integral capacitor C1 and the second integral capacitor C2, can be obtained.
