Abstract:
A data converter and an impedance matching control method are provided. The data converter includes a comparator, a capacitor array as well as a switch and impedance matching circuit. The comparator includes a first input terminal and a second input terminal. The capacitor array includes a plurality of capacitors, and a first end of each capacitor is coupled to the first input terminal or the second input terminal. The switch and impedance matching circuit is coupled to a second end of a target capacitor among the capacitors and configured to couple the second end to a first reference voltage or a second reference voltage according to a control signal and adjust an impedance according to an impedance adjusting signal, in which the impedance is the impedance of the switch and impedance matching circuit. The first reference voltage is different from the second reference voltage.

Claim (Index 10):
The method of  claim 7 , wherein the switch and impedance matching circuit comprises:\n a control terminal receiving the control signal; an output terminal coupled to the second end of the target capacitor and configured to output the first reference voltage or the second reference voltage; a first switch coupled between the output terminal and the first reference voltage; a plurality of second switches; a third switch coupled between the output terminal and the second reference voltage; and a plurality of fourth switches; wherein the step of adjusting the switch and impedance matching circuit according to the circuit characteristic comprises: controlling N of the second switches to connect in parallel with the first switch, and/or controlling M of the fourth switches to connect in parallel with the third switch, M and N are integers greater than or equal to zero.
