    摘要: The embodiments described herein provide analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) and systems and methods for calibrating ADCs, including ADCs with poorly characterized nonlinearities that cannot be effectively calibrated with traditional calibration techniques. In general, the embodiments described herein calibrate by measuring output values from an ADC with a known calibration input values being applied. The measured output values are used to determine localized polynomial interpolants. Each of the determined localized polynomial interpolants is then evaluated at an uncorrected output value, and the evaluated localized polynomial interpolants are then used to generate correction values. These correction values can then be used to calibrate the ADC during later operation. Such a calibration technique can provide effective calibration for a variety of ADCs, including ADCs that use inverter-based voltage-to-current (VI) converters and current-controlled ring oscillators.

    摘要: A current-steered DAC has first and second differential outputs for providing an analog output signal under control of a digital input signal. In operational use of the DAC, the output signal has a differential component, which is representative of the digital input signal, and also has a first common-mode component. The DAC has circuitry operative to add an extra common-mode component to both the first and second differential outputs so as to make a sum of the first common-mode component and the extra common-mode component substantially independent of a state change of the digital input signal.

    摘要: A digital to analogue converter comprises a plurality of current sources (T0-Tn) and corresponding selection switches (D0-Dn) which connect the current sources to an output (3). In order to enable a constant capacitance to be presented at the output (3) regardless of the input digital code a plurality of dummy current sources ( T 0- T n) which take the same form as the current sources (T0-Tn) are provided. The dummy current sources have associated selection switches ( D 0- D n) which are operated by the logical inverse of the code applied to the current sources (T0-Tn).

    摘要: A method of canceling noise in analog circuits is described along with noise cancellation circuits. Analog circuits are sensitive to noise. Especially in mixed signal environments where digital circuits and analog circuits are combined, the noise generated by relatively noisy digital circuits often cause the analog circuits to produce incorrect output signals. Instead of shielding or separating the susceptible analog circuits from noisy digital circuits, additional circuitry is added where one of the added circuits, denoted as the noise separator circuit, produce only the noise component of the output signal, the first output, of the analog circuit adversely affected by the noise. Then, another circuit is used to subtract the noise from the first output, thereby producing a noise-free output signal. Alternatively, the noise separator circuit can be made to produce the inverse of the first output, including the inverse of the noise. Then, the first output and the inverse output can be added and halved to produce the desired, noise-free output.
