    摘要: 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: 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.
