Abstract
A signal conversion device for converting a single-ended input voltage into a differential input voltage having a positive input voltage and a negative input voltage is provided. During a sampling phase, a holding phase, and a common-mode voltage generation phase, a capacitor related to the positive input voltage is electrically connected to the single-ended input voltage, and a capacitor related to the negative input voltage is electrically connected to a preset voltage. During a single-ended to differential phase, the capacitor related to the positive input voltage is electrically connected to the preset voltage, and the capacitor related to the negative input voltage is electrically connected to the single-ended input voltage. Hence, the common-mode voltage is not related to a capacitance ratio, and the capacitors does not need to be designed as switching capacitors with multiple switches. No complex control is required, and the parasitic effect of the circuit can be reduced.
