Abstract: A switched-capacitor analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes: a main digital-to-analog converter (DAC) circuit; a comparator coupled to the main DAC circuit and configured to determine whether the input to the comparator exceeds a pre-determined threshold; and a supplementary DAC circuit coupled to the main DAC circuit, wherein the switched-capacitor ADC is configured to operate in at least one of a first mode or a second mode, wherein in the first mode for measuring an offset of the switched-capacitor ADC, the supplementary DAC circuit is configured to shift a voltage at an output of the main DAC circuit by a first value having a first polarity, and wherein in the second mode for measuring a full-scale gain error of the switched-capacitor ADC, the supplementary DAC circuit is configured to shift the voltage at the output of the main DAC circuit by a second value having a second polarity opposite the first polarity.

Abstract: According to various embodiments, a circuit for determining the frequency of a signal is described, comprising an input configured to receive an analog input signal, an analog to digital converter configured to convert the analog input signal to a digital input signal, a digital mixer configured to generate a mixing result signal by mixing the digital input signal with a single bit binary signal having a reference frequency, a low pass filter configured to generate a filtered signal by filtering the mixing result signal, a measuring circuit configured to measure the period of the filtered signal and an output configured to output a value differing from the frequency of the single bit binary signal by the inverse of the measured period as the frequency to be determined.
