Abstract:
The present application discloses an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) circuit. The circuit includes an integral circuit including an operational amplifier and an integral capacitor. The circuit further includes a comparator and a timer. The operational amplifier includes a positive input terminal configured to receive a first voltage, a negative input terminal coupled to a signal-collection line configured to collect an analog current signal, and an output terminal configured to output a first output signal. The comparator is configured to compare the first output signal with a second voltage to generate a second output signal to the timer. The timer is configured to start a timing operation when the operational amplifier receives the analog current signal and end the timing operation when the second output signal changes. A binary data resulted from the timing operation characterizes a digital signal corresponding to the analog current signal.

Claim (Index 15):
The method of  claim 14 , wherein operating the timer to start a timing operation comprises measuring a time duration of the second output signal staying at the logic level \u201c1\u201d before changing to the logic level \u201c0\u201d to obtain the binary data positively correlated to the time duration which is negatively correlated to the drop rate.
