Embodiment
The present invention proposes analog to digital change-over circuit and method, can reduce because the result of the transcription error that the change of technology, voltage, temperature or noise etc. is produced.
Below for some embodiment the present invention is described, but the present invention is not limited only to illustrated embodiment.
Fig. 2 illustrates according to one embodiment of the invention, analog to digital change-over circuit schematic diagram.Consult Fig. 2, the operating voltage, operating current and the basic voltage Vbase that are caused the demand by reference circuit 50 give each AD converter 200, for example are three and represent with ADC1-ADC3.The basic voltage Vbase that reference circuit 50 produces, one end ground connection, and for example can be through a direct current buffer cell 202 input basic voltage Vbase.That is to say that basic voltage Vbase has comprised reference circuit 50 because the caused change of various factors.
In each AD converter 200, gain unit 208 produces two voltage signals according to demand, one of them output voltage signal is used for compensation voltage signal ADC_VIM and the data voltage signal ADC_VIP of follow-up generation, and another output voltage signal is used for follow-up generation analog to digital conversion input range voltage signal 212.This compensation voltage signal ADC_VIM, data voltage signal ADC_VIP and analog to digital conversion input range voltage signal 212 all can add basic voltage Vbase, so can reduce the mistake of the turnover number character code of being exported by digital translation vouching unit 118 so that AD converter 200 and reference circuit 50 pairs of P, V, T or power supply noises etc. have more consistent variation.
Related with ground voltage and after producing basic voltage Vbase via reference circuit 50, follow-up than detailed circuit knot and the following explanation of processing mode.
At the analog to digital conversion input range voltage signal 212 of demand, the voltage signal that gain unit 208 produces obtains analog to digital conversion input range voltage signal 212 via an adder 210 with basic voltage Vbase addition.
Also comprise a compensating unit 206 in each AD converter 200, it receives a voltage signal of being exported by gain unit 208.The voltage signal that compensating unit 206 is exported is being compensated voltage signal ADC_VIM via an adder 204 with basic voltage Vbase addition.Compensation voltage signal ADC_VIM also can do voltage stabilizing via the voltage regulation capacitor 110 of outside, and the magnitude of voltage after the voltage stabilizing is Voffset.
This compensation voltage signal ADC_VIM is the input signal one of direct current buffer cell (DC_buffer) 116.
Also comprise multiplexer (MUX) 214 and direct current buffer cell 216 in each AD converter 200.Compensation voltage signal and basic voltage Vbase by adder 204 outputs are input to multiplexer 214.A strangulation voltage signal Vclamp is being exported in the output of multiplexer 214 via direct current buffer cell 216.This strangulation voltage signal Vclamp can obtain voltage stabilizing through the voltage regulation capacitor 122 with the outside, adds the data-signal of input thereafter again via a derailing switch 124, and its mechanism is as follows.
One input endpoint of each AD converter 200 can be via a capacitor 122 input analog voltage signal Vin to inner.During analog voltage signal Vin input, control switch device 124 carries out the strangulation action, and the analog voltage signal Vin of each input is added that a direct voltage is to produce data voltage signal ADC_VIP.This direct voltage is exactly the voltage of being exported by direct current buffer cell 216, and it has also comprised the change of basic voltage Vbase.
In each AD converter 200, the voltage signal of ADC_VIP and ADC_VIM is input to analog to digital conversion vouching unit 118 via direct current buffer cell 116 again, produces the numerical value of the different digital sign indicating number of corresponding different Vin sizes again via its computing.
At the above-mentioned and outside circuit box 218 that is connected, it is the source of induction external noise, yet its current potential is identical with signal ADC_VIM.As noise from power supply or ground voltage again or AD converter is outside when producing, signal ADC_VIP also can follow signal ADC_VIM and change together.
The picture signal of analog voltage signal Vin RGB, the YPbPr that can for example be or combined type picture signal (CVBS) etc. again.
According to one embodiment of the invention, under technology, voltage, temperature (P, V, T) or the influence of change of noise, the operating voltage that reference circuit 50 produces and operating current are changed by it can.And the voltage signal ADC_VIP in the AD converter 200 and ADC_VIM also can produce change.Otherness between the two is consistent, and follows basic voltage Vbase one and change.As noise from power supply or ground voltage, again or circuit is outside when producing, voltage signal ADC_VIP can follow voltage signal ADC_VIM and change together.Digital translation input range voltage signal is also followed basic voltage Vbase one simultaneously and is changed.So, the turnover number character code by digital translation vouching unit 118 exports relatively is difficult for following change, to lower wrong generation.
Analog to digital change-over circuit of the present invention makes a plurality of control voltage signals of digital translation vouching unit 116 all be referenced to the basic voltage Vbase that is produced by reference circuit, to export a turnover number character code, so lower make a mistake probability with extent of deviation of output code.
The method that the present invention just handles, it utilizes a reference circuit, and a basic voltage is provided, an end ground connection of this basic voltage signal.Again this basic voltage signal is inputed to an AD converter, so that a plurality of control voltage signals of a direct current buffer cell of this AD converter inside and analog to digital conversion vouching unit all are referenced to this basic voltage, to export a turnover number character code.
Reference circuit can be earlier through providing this basic voltage signal after the direct current buffering.
Though the present invention discloses as above with embodiment; so it is not in order to limit the present invention; those skilled in the art when doing a little change and retouching, are as the criterion so protection scope of the present invention ought be looked the appended claims person of defining without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
