Definitions
- At least one linear input stage for linear amplification of an analog input signal with a relatively low gain and at least one output stage with a relatively high gain are usually at least one linear input stage for linear amplification of an analog input signal with a relatively low gain and at least one output stage with a relatively high gain.
- the time limits which essentially determine the conversion rate of the analog-digital converter, are determined on the one hand by the recovery time or recovery time of the comparator after an overload of the linear input stage and on the other hand by the minimum switching time of the comparator with a small modulation.
- the conversion rate is lower in comparison to a parallel converter, and an increase in speed or an increase in the conversion rate is particularly desirable in an analog-digital converter with successive approximation.
- the invention provides an analog-digital converter for successively approximating conversion of an analog input signal into a digital output signal with a comparator consisting of at least one linear input stage and one output stage, which compares the analog input signal with a digital-analog converter - compares the given analog comparison signal and emits a comparator output signal for setting a clocked successive approximation register, the one in the approximate Mation register cached digital value is converted by the digital-to-analog converter to the analog comparison signal, and with an acceleration circuit that outputs a switchable clock signal to the clocked successive approximation register in response to at least one overdrive display signal that overdrive a associated linear input stage in the comparator.
- the idea on which the analog-digital converter according to the invention is based is to detect the overloading of the linear input stages of the comparator and to clock the successive approximation register as a function thereof.
- the detection of the overload does not necessarily have to be very precise.
- the linear input stage contains a differential amplifier circuit and an overdrive detection circuit for detecting the overdrive of the differential amplifier circuit.
- the overload detection circuit is a window discriminator.
- the acceleration circuit is preferably connected on the input side to a clock generator.
- the acceleration circuit has a pulse generator, on the output side of which a first delay element for delaying the generated pulse by the recovery time of the comparator and a second delay element for delaying the generated pulse by the maximum decision time of the comparator are connected, the signal outputs of the two delay elements connected to a controlled switching device which switches the signal outputs of the delay elements to the successive approximation register as a function of the overload signal.
- the switching device is preferably a multiplexer.
- the pulse generator is preferably a flip-flop.
- the output of the multiplexer is preferably coupled to the flip-flop.
- the pulse generator and the delay elements are preferably clocked synchronously by the clock generator.
- the successive approximation register is preferably connected to a read-out register for reading out the digitized final value.
- the overdrive detection circuit preferably detects the amount and sign of the overdrive of the differential amplifier.
- the clock signal can be switched by the acceleration circuit between a first clock signal with a minimum clock period and a second clock signal with a maximum clock period.
- the minimum clock period corresponds to the recovery time of the comparator and the maximum clock period corresponds to the maximum necessary decision time of the comparator.
- the minimum clock period as the term of the first term element and the maximum clock period as the term of the two term elements can be set externally.
- the invention also provides a method for converting an analog input signal into a digital output signal, comprising the following steps:
- FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a preferred embodiment of the analog-to-digital converter according to the invention
- FIG. 2 shows a circuit diagram of an inventive step of the comparator contained in the analog-digital converter according to the invention
- FIG. 3 shows a preferred embodiment of the acceleration circuit contained in the analog-digital converter according to the invention
- FIG. 4 shows a simple flow diagram to explain the method according to the invention for converting an analog signal into a digital output signal.
- FIG. 1 shows a block diagram of the analog-digital converter according to the invention for successively approximating conversion of an analog input signal into a digital output signal.
- the analog-to-digital converter 1 has an analog input connection 2 for applying the analog input signal to be converted.
- the analog input signal connection 2 is connected via a line 3 to a first input 4 of an analog input stage 5 of a comparator 6.
- the analog first input stage 5 of the comparator 6 has a second analog input 7, which is connected to a digital-to-analog converter 9 via a signal line 8.
- the digital-to-analog converter 9 receives a reference voltage U R via a line 10 and a reference voltage connection 11 for carrying out the digital-to-analog conversion.
- the comparator 6 has a plurality of amplification stages 5, 6, 12 connected in series and at least one output stage 13 for amplifying the comparator output signal C from .
- the comparator output signal C out is written into a clocked successive approximation register 15 via a signal line 14.
- the digital value written into the successive approximation register 15 reaches the digital analog converter 9 via data lines 16, which converts the digital value contained in the successive approximation register 15 into an analog converts log voltage, which is connected via the analog signal line 8 to the input 7 of the first linear amplification stage 5 of the comparator 6.
- the successive approximation register 15 has a clock input 17, which is connected to an acceleration circuit 19 via a clock line 18.
- the acceleration circuit 19 is connected on the input side to a clock generator 21 via a clock line 20.
- the acceleration circuit stops via control display signal lines 22, 23 via control display signals from the linear input stages 5, 12 of the comparator 6.
- the overdrive display signals indicate an overload of the associated linear input stage 5, 12 in the comparator 6.
- the digital value contained in the successive approximation register 15 is written into a readout register 25 via digital readout lines 24.
- the converted output value located in the readout register 25 can then be read out via readout lines 26.
- the digital value read out corresponds to the analog input signal U E.
- the conversion rate or conversion rate of the analog-to-digital converter 1 shown in FIG. 1 depends primarily on the speed of the comparator 6. With a low modulation of the linear input stages 5, 12, the comparator 6 can make the decision within a decision switching time whether the bit last set in the successive approximation register 9 remains set or is reset again.
- the entire decision switching time of the comparator 6 does not have to be waited for, but the decision can already be evaluated as soon as the override occurs.
- ne input stage of the comparator 6 is detected. With a large modulation of the linear input stage 5, ie with a large differential voltage between the input connections 4, 7 of the linear input stage 5, the linear input stage 5 is overdriven after a very short time. If one of the front linear input stages 5, 12 of the comparator 6 is overdriven, the comparator output signal can be evaluated immediately and the next weighing step or approximation step can be carried out. If the linear input stage 5, 12 is overcontrolled, the time span for the decision by the comparator 6 can be shortened to the recovery time after an override and a possibly additionally short safety time.
- the linear input stage 5, 12 of the comparator 6 is overridden by an overdrive detection circuit integrated in the linear input stages, each of which outputs an overdrive indication signal to the acceleration circuit 19 via the overdrive detection lines 22, 23.
- the acceleration circuit 19 clocks via the clock line 18 of the successive approximation register 15.
- the acceleration circuit 19 is connected on the input side to a clock generator 21 via the clock line 20. If the acceleration circuit 19 receives the overdrive display signal lines 22, 23 overdrive display signal, in which an overdrive of associated linear input stages 5, 12 indicate in the comparator 6, the clock frequency of the clock signal applied to the clock line 18 is increased for clocking the successive approximation register 15. In this case, only the recovery time after an overload is waited for.
- the clock circuit 18 uses the acceleration circuit 19 to generate a clock signal with a relatively low clock frequency. of the successive approximation register 15. This relatively low clock frequency corresponds to the necessary maximum decision time of the comparator 6.

- the acceleration circuit 19 outputs a clock signal with a short clock period via the clock line 18, which corresponds to the recovery time of the comparator 6.
- the multiplexer 62 switches to the opposite switching position, i.e. the input 61 is connected to the output 67.
- the pulses generated by the pulse generator 55 are delayed by both delay elements 57, 59, the time delay being set such that it corresponds to the necessary decision time of the comparator 6.
