ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERSION METHOD, ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER, AND IMAGE SENSING METHOD

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an analog-to-digital conversion method, an analog-to-digital converter, and an image sensing method using pseudo-multiple sampling methods.;SOLUTION: The analog-to-digital conversion method for converting an analog signal to a digital value having a given number of bits that is defined by given quantization levels, comprises the steps of: repeatedly sampling the analog signal at a resolution that is less than that which is defined by the given number of bits; and summing many lower resolution sampling values to obtain the digital value having the given number of bits.;COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT
