ALEXANDRIA, Va., July 14 -- United States Patent no. 12,683,619, issued on July 14, was assigned to QUALCOMM Inc. (San Diego).

"Noise-shaping SAR ADC with passive-active hybrid gain" was invented by Xiaopeng Zhong (Seattle) and Yuhua Guo (San Diego).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "The noise-shaping successive-approximation-register analog-to-digital converter includes a capacitive digital-to-analog-converter, a loop filter including a plurality of integration capacitors, and a multi-input comparator. During an integration phase, the capacitive digital-to-analog converter couples to the plurality of integration capacitors to develop an integration voltage. The integration capacitors are then arr...
