    摘要: The present invention provides a device and method for correcting error estimation of an analog-to-digital converter. The method comprises: according to a preset initial value of a correction parameter, generating a control signal and finely tuning a digital control delay cell, adjusting a delay amount, and correcting a clock phase error between channels; according to the initial value of a correction parameter, correcting a gain error between channels, generating a general correction signal, buffering the general correction signal and triggering a counting cell to start counting, and meanwhile calling the general correction signal in a buffer and generating a preliminary estimation result by using a cyclic correlation method; when counting up to a preset value, setting enable ends of a low-pass filter accumulating cell and a correction parameter updating cell, generating an error estimation result from the preliminary estimation result and latching the error estimation result, updating a clock correction parameter and a gain correction parameter according to a gradient descent method, and latching the updated clock correction parameter and gain correction parameter, and resetting to carry out cyclic estimation correction. According to the present invention, in the case where a few effective sample points are used, the estimation accuracy is improved and the convergence rate of the estimation correction is increased.

    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.

    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.
