A column-level two-step analogue-to-digital converter (ADC) structure for infrared focal-plane array (IRFPA) is proposed. The first step adopts a 16-column-shared 6-bit flash ADC to accomplish the coarse conversion of 16 columns one by one. Owing to the staggered code and correction, a dynamic comparator is adopted in the flash ADC and the power dissipation of a flash ADC averaged to one column in period is only 0.386 μW. The second step is SAR conversion of which the cycle time is prolonged. The input voltage variation of the comparator in the charge redistribution structure is decreased to tens of millivolts; so a 1.8 V power supply is adequate in spite of 5 V V FS. The power dissipation of this comparator is reduced to 5.966 μW. Also, the lower clock frequency of the SAR logic reduces the dynamic power. A 14-bit two-step ADC is designed in 0.18 μm process and the equivalent power dissipation of the proposed ADC structure for one column is <20 μW.
Scientific research is an important function of modern colleges and universities, for teachers who undertake major basic courses, they has undertaken basic teaching for a long time, their scientific research development has been constrained, which are mainly expressed in the following aspects: weak scientific research consciousness, weak scientific research ability, weak scientific research atmosphere, and insufficient scientific research impetus, so it is very necessary to improve their scientific research ability. On the basis of this current situation, this paper proposes to build "strengthen awareness-rational position-training platform-evaluation mechanism" four-in-one ability cultivation system.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
