- the distortion signal generator serves in particular to increase the resolution of the analog-to-digital converter.
- Background of the use of such a Verzerrsignalgenerators is the fact that many analog-to-digital converters have a sampling frequency, which is much faster than necessary for a particular application, but at the same time because of their resolution, ie the minimum distinguishable signal level, but only one allow coarse detection of the signal.
- the resolution is usually specified in bit for analog-to-digital converters.
- analog-to-digital converters also referred to as analog-to-digital converters
- the resolution is often on the order of about 10 bits, where however, in many applications, resolutions of, for example, 13 bits or 14 bits would be desirable.
- the distortion signal generator is therefore used to convert the temporal resolution into a higher sampling accuracy.
- This method is also called dithering.
- noise with a low rms value is added to the signal to be digitized, typically of the order of a few least significant bits, also referred to as Least Significant Bits (LSB).
- Least Significant Bits A therefrom resul ⁇ animal end signal which is then digitized by the analog-to-digital converter fluctuates around the digitized signal to the corresponding value with the instantaneous value of the Verzerrsignals. For example, if the distortion signal has the mean value of zero, the average of many output values of the analog-to-digital converter may correspond to the correct output value of the constant signal to be digitized.
- this average has a higher resolution. In the averaging, in fact, places with a lower significance than 1 LSB arise.
- both the use of a random noise and of a pseudo noise as a distortion signal are available for this purpose.
- random noise it is not necessarily guaranteed that for a group of, for example, fifty consecutive values of noise, the mean will actually be zero.
- Such random noise may be generated, for example, by a random generator based on the observation of a natural phenomenon such as a radioactive decay.
- a pseudo noise a mathematical function is typically used which generates pseudorandom numbers based on an output value. These pseudorandom numbers have defined properties; in particular can be calculated how many must be grouped pseudo-random ⁇ pay, around a mean of zero to to reach. Even if the average of such a group is not zero, the pseudo noises can still be used because the average is known and can be computationally easily compensated.
- random noise also refers in particular to "random dithering”
- pseudo-random numbers also refers to "deterministic dithering”.
- a simply defined signal such as a triangular or sawtooth signal can also be used.

- the digitizing signal VS is coupled by means of a capacitor C1, so that it is AC voltage coupled. A DC component of the signal VS is thus hidden.
- the digital output D of the microcontroller yC is connected in the same way as in FIG. 1 to a voltage divider S which has two resistors R1, R2 and is connected to ground at its end opposite the digital output D.
- the output of the voltage divider S which lies between the resistors Rl, R2, is connected to the capacitor Cl.
- connection ADC + connected to the positive connection ADC + connected.
- it is connected to a third resistor R3, which in turn is connected at its opposite terminal to a supply voltage VDD.
- the reference input Ref of the microcontroller yC is fixedly connected to a reference potential VR in the present case.
- the distortion signal which is already adjusted as described above by means of the voltage divider S in its amount, directly superimposed on the signal to be digitized VS before it is coupled into the analog-to-digital converter ADC .
- the circuit shown in FIG. 3 has a somewhat different transfer characteristic than an adder with active components such as operational amplifiers, this transfer characteristic is sufficient for typical applications. In particular, it can be compensated for the calculations performed by the microcontroller yC. By eliminating active components, a significant reduction in effort and cost is achieved.
