    摘要: Methods and systems for designing a high resolution analog to digital converter (ADC) by eliminating the errors in the ADC stages. An error correction architecture and method eliminate the gain error and settling error of the residue amplifier in a pipelined ADC stage. A reference voltage error correction architecture and method eliminate the reference voltage error due to the sampling action in the ADC. The gain error correction method calculates the gain error using an error amplifier and eliminates the gain error at a later stage of the ADC. The reference voltage error correction method calculates the reference voltage error using an ideal reference voltage and corrects the error at a later stage of the ADC. Therefore, the constraints of gain and settling of the residue amplifier is significantly reduced.

    摘要: A voltage regulator includes an amplifier, a first buffer and a second buffer. The amplifier is designed to generate an error voltage between a reference voltage and a voltage at an output node of the voltage regulator. The first buffer is coupled to receive the amplified error voltage and, in response, to drive a first pass transistor. The first buffer includes a non-linear resistance element. The resistance of the non-linear resistance element varies non-linearly with a load current drawn from the output node. The second buffer is coupled to receive the amplified error voltage, and in response, to drive a second pass transistor. The second buffer includes a linear resistance element. The resistance of the linear element is a constant. The use of the non-linear resistance element enables reduction in power consumption in the voltage regulator.
