摘要: A pipelined analog-to-digital converter and an output calibration method for the same. The pipelined analog-to-digital converter introduces an error calibration mechanism on the basis of traditional pipelined analog-to-digital converters through a control module, an equivalent gain error extraction module, an error storage module and a coding reconstruction module to compensate for gain errors and setup errors caused by operational amplifiers in a pipelined conversion module, so that the analog-to-digital conversion accuracy is improved, and requirements for the gain and bandwidth of the operational amplifier are relaxed, which can effectively reduce the power consumption of the analog-to-digital converter and the complexity of the corresponding analog circuit; a curve fitting method is adopted to obtain an ideal output sequence and then calculate errors; meanwhile, extraction and calibration of equivalent gain errors are all done in digital ways, and therefore accuracy thereof is high.

摘要: A highly linear time amplifier with power supply rejection. In a reset stage, the threshold value of an over-threshold detector is used for resetting an output node of an amplifier, to eliminate the impact of power supply voltage changes on the threshold value of the threshold detector. A node capacitor unit is charged under the control of an input clock signal. After completion of charging, the node capacitor unit is discharged under the control of a synchronous clock signal. The time amplification gain only depends on the proportion of the charge and discharge current, and the charging and discharging time are completely linear in principle, which eliminates the nonlinearity of the traditional time amplifier, and reduces the negative impact of threshold change on system performance.

摘要: The present disclosure provides a voltage-to-time converter and method for reducing parasitic capacitance and power supply influences. The voltage-to-time converter includes: a main sampling network, a compensation sampling network, a discharge network and an over-threshold detection unit. The influence of a traditional VTC parasitic capacitance on a VTC output swing amplitude is reduced by using the compensation sampling network. A sampling common-mode level of the compensation sampling network is compensated, such that the influence of the low-frequency disturbance of a power supply voltage on a threshold of a traditional VTC threshold detection circuit is reduced. The output swing amplitude of the voltage-to-time converter of the present disclosure can reduce the influence of a parasitic capacitance. A voltage common-mode level of a VTC input end is related to a power supply voltage, which reduces a conversion error caused by the influence of the power supply voltage on a threshold.

摘要: The present disclosure relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuits, and to a method for calibrating a capacitor voltage coefficient of a high-precision successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC). The method includes: calibrating a voltage coefficient; obtaining a sampled charged charge according to a capacitance model with the voltage coefficient; according to an INL value obtained by testing, first verifying whether a maximum value of INL occurs in the place shown in Equation 3, then obtaining two very close second-order capacitor voltage coefficients according to Equation 4, and taking an average value thereof as a second-order capacitor voltage coefficient; and then calibrating the second-order capacitor voltage coefficient in a digital domain. In the present disclosure, a capacitor voltage coefficient can be extracted based on INL and the capacitor voltage coefficient is calibrated at a digital backend without adding an analog calibration circuit, thereby improving conversion accuracy of the ADC.

摘要: The present disclosure provides a pipelined analog-to-digital converter having input signal pre-comparison and charge redistribution, including: one-stage or multi-stage of pipelined structure unit, a first flash analog-to-digital converter, and an adjusting output unit. Each stage of the pipelined structure unit is used to quantify the input signal. The first flash analog-to-digital converter quantizes a residual signal output by a final pipelined structure unit, and outputs a corresponding quantized value. The adjusting output unit combines each of the quantized values according to a connection order of the multi-stage pipelined structure unit and a flash analog-to-digital conversion unit to output a complete quantization result. By using the pre-comparison and charge redistribution technologies, the number of comparators of different stages of pipelined sub ADC is reduced and the low power consumption design is achieved, signal sample-and-hold and residual signal amplification establishing are simultaneously carried out, thus improving the conversion rate.
