Background technology
Analog to digital conversion circuit refers to circuit analogue signal being compared according to reference voltage and quantifying, wherein, core
Device is comparator circuit.
Described comparator circuit refers to the circuit that applied signal voltage and reference voltage are compared, and is output as height, table
Bright input signal is higher than reference voltage.Vice versa.Main consideration index is drifted about for input direct-current, input noise, bandwidth etc..
Input direct-current drifts about, and input noise determines the precision of quantization, determines the digit of analog digital conversion together with reference voltage, and such as 8

Greatly;Adopt two-stage pre1 and pre2 to amplify in Fig. 1, but amplifying circuit inherently has own noise and input direct-current drift;For
Reduce the input direct-current drift of amplifying circuit, general using output auto zero, or input auto zero;Output is returned automatically
Zero error and the gain switching of amplifying circuit are smaller, adopt relatively more typically in high-speed comparator, or input is automatically
Zero needs big amplifying circuit gain, typically using relatively more in low speed comparator.
In auto zero, drifting about through the own input direct-current amplifying of output will be stored in electric capacity;In normal work
When making, the error brought with input direct-current drift is automatically deducted by the voltage difference at electric capacity two ends, thus realizing no input direct-current
The effect of the amplification of drift.
In Fig. 1, this technology is employed to amplifier stage pre1 naturally it is also possible to this technology is adopted to pre2.But adopting should
Technology can affect bandwidth and comparator area, if adopts, and using how many levels, is determined by the requirement designing.
The flicker noise of the low speed to amplifier for the above-mentioned technology, equally functions similarly to the effect of input direct-current drift.But
For the thermal noise of high frequency, the particularly noise of sample frequency odd-multiple, tend not to play suppression, or even play amplification and make
With.
