ALEXANDRIA, Va., Aug. 5 -- United States Patent no. 12,700,871, issued on Aug. 4, was assigned to InvenSense Inc. (San Jose, Calif.).
"Continuous time pipeline analog-to-digital conversion" was invented by Vadim Tsinker (San Jose, Calif.).
According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A continuous time reconfigurable integrator is dynamically reconfigurable to facilitate real time high-resolution modification of the integrator output signal. An initial output of the integrator is evaluated to generate a coarse estimate which is then used to modify capacitive inputs to the integrator, which result in the output of a residue signal. The initial and residue outputs are individually processed by an analog-to-digi...
