摘要:
An integrated circuit allows for the isolation of the input of an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) from a summing-node (SNS) algorithm. The integrated circuit contains a gating device that is controlled by bits of a flash analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to gate input samples to sub-ranges that are used by the SNS algorithm. A single sub-range is chosen to be used by the SNS algorithm.

A process allows for the modification of the least-means-square (LMS) algorithm to remove perturbations associated with measured signals in an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The process includes measuring the perturbations and determining a coefficient associated with the perturbations. The LMS algorithm is modified in accordance with whether a digital or an analog correction of the inter-stage error of a residue amplifier on the ADC is to be made.
摘要:
A method and device involve a circuit having a switched capacitor network that is switchably connected to an input signal. A randomly determined amount of dither is injected into a circuit having a switched capacitor network that is switchably connected to an input signal. After injecting the dither, at least one correlation value is determined. The correlation value(s) indicates a degree of correlation between the injected dither and an output of the circuit. Distortion caused by an amount of charge kicked back into the circuit when the switched capacitor network is reconnected to the input signal may then be reduced. The reduction is calculated as a function of the correlation value(s).

Embodiments of the present invention may provide an improved apparatus and method for reducing distortion in analog circuits. A circuit in accordance with the present invention may include a main path comprising an analog circuit with an input impedance, a source impedance representing the impedance of an input network driving the analog circuit, and a cancellation path. The cancellation path may be in parallel to the main path and may generate a cancelling non-linear current to substantially cancel a non-linear current drawn to the input impedance, resulting in a decrease of non-liner current flowing through the source impedance.
