Patent ID: 10084470

Abstract:
An analog-to-digital converter of non-binary capacitor array with redundancy bits and its chip. The non-binary capacitor array with redundancy bits comprises a common-mode voltage, analog signal input, no less than one redundancy bit capacitor and multiple capacitors; each capacitor of capacitors with redundancy bits and multiple capacitors is connected in parallel between common-mode voltage and analog signal input and marked in a sequence from highest to lowest/lowest to highest bit; the sum of the capacitance of capacitors from the lowest bit capacitor to an random capacitor must be no less than the capacitance of the higher bit capacitor adjacent to the random capacitor. The ratio of the capacitance of each capacitor to the capacitance of unit capacitor is set to be positive. The capacitor array is applied into an analog-to-digital converter or fabricated as a chip.
