The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of analog or digital-analog hybrid integrated circuits, and relates to a high-speed SAR_ADC digital logic circuit, in particular to a high-speed digital logic circuit for SAR_ADC and a sampling adjustment method. The digital logic circuit includes a comparator, a logic control unit parallel to the comparator, and a capacitor array DAC. The comparator and the logic control unit are simultaneously triggered by a clock signal.

This invention relates to multichannel signal processing systems using synchronous protocols I2S (Inter-IC Sound Bus) and SPI (Serial Peripheral Bus) for sequenced data exchange, and providing unified synchronization of processed data. The system and method for synchronously multiplexing data streams in the I2S or SPI formats involves transformation of a standard Left/Right Clock (LRCK) sampled pulse signal of the I2S format or a Chip Select (CS) pulse signal of the SPI format into a LRCLt signal comprising a time stamp code and start and end marker codes of the synchronization clock signal, LRCK or CS, respectively. The presence of the marker codes and the time stamp code enables to restore the pulse signal, LRCK or CS, respectively, in the process of data stream program processing and link each discrete sample to the time stamp. The digital stream multiplexing system includes m channel groups for collection of synchronous data in the I2S or SPI synchronous protocol, a clock generator, a host processor and a means of transforming the LRCK or CS signal into the LRCKt signal. The technical effect consists in removal of limitations on a number of fully synchronized data streams in the I2S or SPI formats and, at the same time, simplification of the synchronization system and method and reduction in requirements to hardware resources.
