ABSTRACT:
A system converts an analog input signal to an output signal in a very linear manner using very low chip area and very low power consumption. The system includes a micro electromechanical oscillating signal source for generating a linearly varying oscillating signal, an analog signal generator coupled to the micro electromechanical oscillating signal source, the analog signal generator being configured to convert the linearly varying oscillating signal to an electrical analog signal, a minimum transistor circuit having an input for receiving an analog signal, a switch that selectively couples the electrical analog signal to the input of the minimum transistor circuit, the minimum transistor circuit being configured to process the electrical analog signal and generate digital output values, an error detection circuit coupled to the minimum transistor circuit to detect non-linearity errors in the digital output values, and a linearity correction circuit coupled to the error detection circuit, the linearity correction circuit being configured to compensate for the non-linearity errors detected by the error detection circuit.
