表示方式。一般習知的類比數位轉換器的種類爲平行比較器式或快閃 式轉換器’其以比較多個參考電壓與輸入電壓的關係,將結果由編碼 邏輯輸出,在每次轉換中,數位碼代表最接近輸入電壓的參考電壓; 而逐漸逼近式比較器的轉換器則利用一個數位類比轉換器以嘗試錯誤 逼近輸入的方法來產生數位輸出碼。圖la爲快閃式轉換器,其輸出碼 通常是二進制碼,由編碼邏輯3G所建立,提供η位元解析度來表示輸 入訊號。這種架構通常需要2'η個參考電壓10以及2、個比較器 20 °當這種形式的比較器解析度愈高時(輸出的位元數目增加),設 計就會變得極爲複雜。 圖lb爲逐漸追近式類比數位轉換器,類比輸入訊號vin輸入至取 樣與保持線路50,而取樣的輸入訊號55爲比較器60的輸入。資料編碼 器70設定輸出字組9Ga ... 9Gd的最大有效位元9Qd爲邏輯1,而其

位類比轉換器80的輸出電壓85小於取樣的類比輸入訊號,比較器60將 產生輸出邏輯1。AND閘65將使時鐘訊號無法通過,而下一個最大有效 位元9Gc將維持爲邏輯1,而下一個最小有效位元則設爲邏輯1。 這種嘗試並設定輸出位元90a, ...,90d的過程將進行直到所有的 位元都已經決定,能代表取樣的輸入訊號大小。只有當過程完成時, 輸出位元9Ga,...,9Gd才需要被輸出線路檢查。逐漸逼近式類比數位 轉換器需要不同的取樣與保持線路,而一個複雜的數位類比轉換器, 產生錯誤的可能性提高。 爲了要簡化快閃式類比數位轉換器的設計,已知有兩種技術可以 運用。這兩種多級轉換的技術都可以用來完成類比數位的轉換。在第 一種技術裡,如美國專利No.5302869 (Hosotani等人),美國專利 No.5389929 (Nayebi 等人),美國專利No.5353027 (Vorenkamp 等人),美國專利No.53693G9 ( Bacrania等人),美國專利 No. 5387914 (Mangclsdof)所示,第一級爲快閃式類比數位轉換器 的粗略解析度;而具有數位類比轉換器的第二級則調整電壓比較器的 參考電壓來完成解析度更佳的轉換。這兩種轉換的結果再被編碼成數 位輸出位元組,來代表類比輸入電壓的大小。在第二種技術裡,如美 國專利No.5291198 (

的細微分域比較器4a及4b的輸出碼爲錯誤校正碼7,而這組粗略分域 碼則由輸出編碼邏輯8來決定輸入電壓Vin的數位輸出代表碼 {D0,D1,D2,...Dn}。 類比數位轉換器有一個很重嬖的元件爲電壓比較器,其爲此技術 領域中習知者’它包含一個操作放大器(operational amplifier) ’有一輸入端接到參考電壓源,而另一輸入端接到類比

Description of the invention (/) Scope of the invention The present invention relates to an analog-to-digital converter and its conversion method, more specifically, it refers to multi-level parallel conversion The first conversion stage is used to determine the rough range of the input voltage, and the subsequent conversion stage then solves the analog input signal to a more accurate increment. The invention can be applied to the field of video and digital signal processing. Description of the Related Art The application of digital processing and transmission of analog data requires the conversion of the analog form into a digital representation. The types of analog digital converters commonly known are parallel comparator type or flash converter. It compares the relationship between multiple reference voltages and input voltages, and outputs the result from the coding logic. In each conversion, the digital code Represents the reference voltage closest to the input voltage; the converter of the gradually approaching comparator uses a digital analog converter to try to approximate the input by mistake to generate the digital output code. Figure 1a is a flash converter. The output code is usually a binary code, which is created by coding logic 3G and provides n-bit resolution to represent the input signal. This architecture usually requires 2′η reference voltages 10 and 2, and 20 comparators. When the resolution of this type of comparator is higher (the number of output bits increases), the design becomes extremely complicated. FIG. 1b shows a gradually tracking analog-to-digital converter. The analog input signal vin is input to the sampling and holding circuit 50, and the sampled input signal 55 is the input of the comparator 60. The data encoder 70 sets the maximum effective bit 9Qd of the output word group 9Ga ... 9Gd to logic 1, while the other bits 9Ga, 9Gb, 9Gc are logic 0. The output signal 85 of the digital-to-analog converter 80 represents the midpoint voltage of the voltage range of the digital-to-analog converter 80. If the output voltage 85 of the digital-to-analog converter 80 is greater than the sampled analog signal 55, the output of the comparator 60 becomes a logic 0 'and the clock signal is not blocked by the AND gate 65. The data encoder 70 sets the maximum effective size of the paper. The Chinese national standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) is applicable ---------- ^ — (please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Bookmark ^^ 3204 Employee Consumption Cooperation of the Central Bureau of Economics of the Ministry of Economics, A7 B7. V. Description of invention (2) Bit 90d is logic 0, and the next largest valid bit 9Gc is logic 1. The output voltage of the output 85 of the digital analog converter 80 is 1/4 of the voltage range of the digital analog converter 80. The comparator 60 compares the output 85 of the digital-to-analog converter with the sampled analog input signal 55. If the output voltage 85 of the digital-to-analog converter 80 is less than the sampled analog input signal, the comparator 60 will generate an output logic one. AND gate 65 will prevent the clock signal from passing, and the next most significant bit 9Gc will remain at logic 1, and the next least significant bit will be set to logic 1. This process of trying and setting the output bits 90a, ..., 90d will be carried out until all the bits have been determined, which can represent the size of the input signal sampled. Only when the process is completed, the output bits 9Ga, ..., 9Gd need to be checked by the output line. Approaching analog-to-digital converters require different sample-and-hold circuits, while a complex digital-to-analog converter increases the likelihood of errors. To simplify the design of flash analog-to-digital converters, two techniques are known to be used. Both of these multi-level conversion techniques can be used to complete the conversion of analog digits. In the first technique, such as US Patent No. 5302869 (Hosotani et al.), US Patent No. 5389929 (Nayebi et al.), US Patent No. 5353027 (Vorenkamp et al.), US Patent No. 53693G9 (Bacrania et al. ), As shown in US Patent No. 5387914 (Mangclsdof), the first stage is the rough resolution of the flash analog-to-digital converter; the second stage with the digital-to-analog converter adjusts the reference voltage of the voltage comparator to complete the analysis Better conversion. The results of these two conversions are then encoded into digital output bytes to represent the magnitude of the analog input voltage. In the second technology, such as US Patent No. 5291198 (Dingwair et al.), US Patent No. 5223836 (Komatsu), US Patent No. 5400029 (Kobayashi), US Patent No. 4733217 (DingWaii), US Patent No. .5349354 (Ho et al.) Shows that this technique using multiple conversion stages uses decision logic to switch the reference voltage to each stage appropriately based on the result of the previous comparison stage. Take the second multi-level conversion technology as an example, please refer to Figure 2, which is a US patent. The paper size is applicable to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) M specification (210X29.7mm) (please read the notes on the back before filling in This page). Packing. Order A7 B7 Printed by the Consumer Standardization Bureau of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs V. Invention Instructions (3) No.4903028 (Fukashima) circuit diagram, it first generates a set of voltage sources, which is generated by V-REFBOT (minimum Value) is gradually increased to V-REFTOP (highest value) to establish the conversion range of the voltage input (Vin). A set of coarse range comparators 2 are connected to the rough range of la, lb of Vin established by the input voltage and a set of reference voltages in separate intervals. The output of the coarsely divided domain comparator 5 is the input of the control logic and the switching unit 3, which can connect a set of finely divided domain comparators 4 to the appropriate range 1 of the reference voltage. This set of reference voltages ia is divided into finer increments' to establish the maximum resolution of converting Vin to digital output {D0, D1, D2 ..., Dn}. When Vin changes, the value of the output code or the output code of the coarse sub-domain comparator 5 also changes, and the control logic and the switching unit 3 also move the fine differential domain comparator 4 to the next sub-domain range (from la to lb) . Due to the different tolerances in component selection and process drift, the output code 5 of the coarsely divided domain comparator 2 may be wrong. In order to check this error, additional fine differential domain comparators 4a and 4b are required, which will be placed next to sub-domain ia or lb depending on the size of Vin, respectively. The output codes of the additional fine differential domain comparators 4a and 4b are error correction codes 7, and this set of coarse sub-domain codes is determined by the output coding logic 8 to determine the digital output representative codes of the input voltage Vin {D0, D1, D2, ..Dn}. An analog-to-digital converter has a very important component as a voltage comparator, which is known to those skilled in the art as 'it includes an operational amplifier' with one input terminal connected to a reference voltage source and the other input terminal If the analog voltage signal is greater than the reference voltage source, the output can be assumed to be in the first logic state. However, if the analog voltage signal is less than the reference voltage source, the output will assume the second logic state. For another type of comparator, please refer to another patent application that is the same as the applicant of this application. The application number is 841,061,172. Use multiple comparators to form a double fractional comparison To compare the analog voltage signal and the reference voltage. (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page).

Referring to FIG. 3, the analog input voltage (Vin) 150 is applied to the coarse analog digital converter 400 and the fine analog digital converters 401 and 402. Vinl50 is sampled at the first time increment and held in the coarse analog digital converter 400 and the fine analog digital converters 401 and 402.

The coarse digital code 475 is passed to the switch selection logic 300 to select the reference voltage of the coarse reference voltage generator 1GG and is connected to the fine analog digital converters 401 and 402. Switches 301, 302, 303 and 304 will be activated to connect the reference voltage of the appropriate rough reference voltage generator 100 to the fine analog digital converters 401 and 402. The subtle reference voltage generator 20 () is another resistor divider network. It can be connected in parallel with the resistor 101 in the rough reference voltage generator 100. The reference voltage of each subtle reference voltage generator 200 is connected to the subtle analog digital converters 401 and 402. At the third and fourth time increments, the analog input signal 150 is compared with the selected voltage difference between the coarse reference voltage 350 and the fine reference voltage generator 200. The comparison results in a temperature scale, which is the fine digital codes 425 and 450. The coarse digital code 475 and the fine digital codes 425 and 450 are converted into the output digital code 510 in the output encoder 500. The output digital code 510 is a binary number, with a set of maximum significant bits determined by the coarse digital code 475 and a set of minimum effective bits determined by the fine digital code 425 or 450. The output digital code 510 is generated and held during the fifth and sixth time increments. A conversion cycle contains the first to sixth time increments, and is executed repeatedly to form a continuous digital output code to represent the sample size of Vin 150. The fine analog digital converter 401 generates a fine digital code 425 in one conversion cycle.

Invention description (7) Period, the subtle analog-to-digital converter 402 generates a subtle digital code 450. This interaction uses subtle analog-to-digital converters 401 and 402 to allow processing at the beginning of the next conversion cycle while the previous conversion cycle is still being processed. This approach allows sampling to be performed at twice the speed of a single analog-to-digital converter.

The voltage (Vr2) 655, which is a point in the fine reference voltage generator (200 in FIG. 3), is connected to the first terminal of the MOSFET switch 650. The critical reference voltage 635 is connected to the first terminal of the MOSFET switch 630. The capacitor 620 is connected between the second terminal of the MOSFET switches 600, 640 and the second terminal of the MOSFET switch 630. The MOSFET switch 670 is connected between the second end of the MOSFET switch 630 and the second end of the MOSFET switch 650. The first terminal of the capacitor 660 is connected to the second terminal of the MOSFET switches 650 and 670.

Description of invention (沄) Figure 4a shows three inverters 68G, 7GG and 71G. Each inverter is used as an amplifier, and the number of stages can be changed according to the needs of the application. FIG. 4b is another design method of the amplifier 730. The input terminal of the amplifier 730 is the first terminal of the MOSFET switch 750 and the negative input terminal of the operational amplifier 740. The positive input terminal of the operational amplifier 740 is connected to the reference power, so that the operational amplifier can be set as a voltage comparator. The second terminal of the MOSFET switch 750 and the output of the operational amplifier 740 are connected together to form the output of the amplifier 730. The MOSFET switches 600, 630, 640, 650, 670, 685, 695 and 750 are all controlled by the timing control signal 720. The mode of operation of the comparator in Figure 4 is shown in Figures 5a-5d. Figure 5a is the first time increment, the comparator starts sampling Vin 605. MOSFET switches 600, 630, 650, 685, and 695 are turned on, and MOSFET switches 640 and 670 are not turned on. The voltage across the capacitor 620 is Vin-Vthref. The voltage across the capacitor 660 is Vr2_Vth2 (where Vth2 is the self-biasing of the amplifier 680). The amplifier 700 is also biased on the self-bias voltage. Figure 5 b is the second time increment! Comparator operation. The MOSFET switch 600 is not turned on, so that the voltage across the capacitor 62G is kept constant, that is, the voltage of Vin 605 is maintained. During this operation, the switch 630 may be in a conducting or non-conducting state because it does not affect the effective voltage stored in the capacitor 620. Figure 5c shows the operation of the comparator at the third time increment. The MOSFET switch 640 is turned on to connect Vrl 645 to the first terminal A of the capacitor 620. It appears at point B (the second end of capacitor 620) and now becomes Vthref + (Vrl-Vin). The voltage of Vrl 645 is the selected rough reference voltage (350 in Fig. 3).

FIG. 6 is a timing diagram illustrating a tandem analog-to-digital conversion method. At the first time increment of the clock signal (2000), the coarse analog digital converter (2100) samples the analog input signal (2110); the fine analog digital converter (22GG) samples the analog input signal (2210). At the second time increment of the clock signal 2000, the rough analog-to-digital converter 2100 compares the sampled analog input signal with the rough reference voltage (2120). When the appropriate coarse reference voltage is chosen to connect the first fine analog-to-digital converter, the sampled analog input voltage remains at the same time (2200). At the third time increment of the clock signal (2000), an appropriate rough reference voltage is connected to the first fine analog-to-digital converter (2200), as shown in Figure 5c, to shift the voltage. The sampled and shifted analog input signal is compared at the fourth time increment of the clock signal (2000). At the fifth time increment of the clock signal (2000), the results of the coarse and fine comparison (2405) are sent to the output coding logic, which is converted into the output digital code 1 (241Q) and sent to the data output (2400).

DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION (丨 0) A7 B7 bit code 1 (2410) remains valid during the sixth time increment of the clock signal (2GGG). The second comparison cycle begins at the third time increment of the clock signal (2000) 'sampling the analog input signal (2130) by the coarse analog digital converter (21GG)' and the second fine analog digital converter (2300) Sampling the analog input signal (2310) ° The second coarse comparison (2140) and the second data hold (2320) of the second fine analog-to-digital converter occur at the fourth time increment of the clock signal (2000). The second sampling and shifting occurs during the fifth time increment of the clock signal (2000). The coarse digital code and fine digital code of the second conversion will be converted into the output digital code 2 (2420), which will be output in the seventh time increment and maintained to the eighth time increment of the clock signal (2000). Figure 7 illustrates the way to obtain the least significant byte encoding. The rough reference voltage generator (100 in Fig. 3) is regarded as an extension of Vrt (3000) to Vrb (3100) in increments of Vrl (n) (3010) and Vrl (n-1) (3G3G). The fine analog-to-digital converter (401 and 402 in Fig. 3) cuts the coarse increment into a fine increment (3040).
