Latest Patents
One of Martins Skele's latest patents is titled "Low power current input delta-sigma ADC using injection FET reference." This invention describes a low power delta-sigma analog to digital converter designed for converting current mode signals without the need for an amplifier. The circuit includes an integration capacitor, a comparator, and a first switch arranged in parallel, all coupled to an integration node. A FET and the first switch are connected in series between a dump capacitor and the integration node. The design allows for efficient operation without op-amps, utilizing an imaging component for current supply. In the first comparator state, the first capacitor charges while the first switch remains open and the second switch is closed, discharging the dump capacitor. Conversely, in the second comparator state, the first switch closes while the second switch opens, allowing the integration capacitor to transfer a fixed amount of charge into the dump capacitor through an injection FET operating in saturation.
Another notable patent is the "Dual comparator trigger circuit for glitch capture." This invention provides a glitch trigger circuit for measuring glitches that occur on power line signals. It features two comparators and independently controllable voltage trigger levels, enabling proper triggering on glitches of unknown polarity. A high pass filter is incorporated to reject the power line signal while allowing glitch signals to pass through, ensuring accurate triggering even when the voltage amplitudes of glitches are less than that of the power line signal.
