Title: Innovations by Jorge Grilo
Introduction
Jorge Grilo is an accomplished inventor based in San Diego, CA. He has made significant contributions to the field of analog-to-digital conversion technology. With a total of 4 patents to his name, Grilo continues to push the boundaries of innovation in his field.
Latest Patents
One of his latest patents is titled "Modified dynamic element matching for reduced latency in a pipeline analog to digital converter." This invention involves a circuit in an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) that includes an amplifier configured to receive an output from a backend DAC. It features a harmonic distortion correction circuit (HDC) that corrects distortion components due to the residue amplifier present in a digital signal from the backend ADC. The HDC circuit provides an output to an adder, which also receives a coarse digital output from a coarse ADC. Additionally, a DAC noise cancellation circuit (DNC) is included to correct distortion components due to the DAC present in the digital signal from the backend ADC. The output of the adder forms the ADC digital output, which serves as an input to both the HDC and the DNC.
Another notable patent is the "Distributed bootstrap switch." This invention pertains to an input circuit for an ADC that includes at least one bootstrap circuit. The circuit comprises several switches that connect electrical power to a capacitor and facilitate the sampling of signals. This innovative design enhances the performance of analog-to-digital converters.
