A system includes a dither generator module that includes a most significant bits (MSB) dither generator device that generates a first random value. The dither generator module also includes a least significant bits (LSB) dither generator device that generates a second random value. The system further includes a first digital to analog converter (DAC) that receives a sum of the first random value and the second random value and generates a dither signal based on the sum of the first random value and the second random value. The system also includes an analog to digital converter (ADC) that receives a sum of the dither signal and a sampled input signal and generates a first digitized signal. The system includes a subtraction module that subtracts the sum of the first random value and the second random value from the first digitized signal to produce a digitized output signal.

摘要:
A method of DAC mismatch calibration in a SAR ADC (600) comprising the steps of: determining a number of bits of an analog input signal (V IN ); detecting if a binary code determined from the analog input signal (V IN ) matches at least one trigger code; using at least one setting code to determine a calibration residue signal (V* RES ) and a calibration bit (B* LSB ); analyzing a least significant bit of the digital signal (C OUT ) and the calibration bit (B* LSB ); determining an indication of a presence of DAC mismatch; and calibrating the DAC mismatch. As the determination of the calibration bit (B* LSB ) requires only one additional comparison, when compared to the normal operation, the normal operation does not need to be interrupted. Therefore, the calibration can be done in the background and, as such, can be performed frequently thereby taking into account time-varying changes due to environmental effects.

摘要:
For analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) which utilize a feedback digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for conversion, the final analog output can be affected or distorted by errors of the feedback DAC. A digital measurement technique can be implemented to determine timing mismatch error for the feedback DAC in a continuous-time delta-sigma modulator (CTDSM) or in a continuous-time pipeline modulator. The methodology utilizes cross-correlation of each DAC unit elements (UEs) output to the entire modulator output to measure its timing mismatch error respectively. Specifically, the timing mismatch error is estimated using a ratio based on a peak value and a value for the next tap in the cross-correlation function. The obtained errors can be stored in a look-up table and fully corrected in digital domain or analog domain.
