    摘要: A method of trimming a current source in an IC includes deriving a reference voltage from an external supply, and developing a measurement voltage across an external reference resistance receiving the current to be trimmed. An on-chip ADC is used to provide corresponding digital reference and digital measurement signals. A digital comparator compares the digital signals and provides a digital trim signal, which is used to adjust the current to be trimmed until the digital measurement signal is equal to the digital reference signal within an acceptable tolerance. Gain and offset errors in the ADC cancel and do not affect the calibration of the trim operation.

    摘要: An aspect of the invention improves accuracy of digital codes generated at the output of a SAR ADC by using multiple reference voltages. A first reference voltage is used to generate an equivalent voltage corresponding to previous resolved bits and a second reference voltage is used to generate equivalent voltage corresponding to the bits being presently resolved. Another aspect of the present invention provides an ADC with high SNR as well as high throughput performance. Such a feature may be achieved by resolving some of the MSBs of the digital code using a high speed and low SNR DAC and remaining bits of the digital code using a high SNR DAC.
