A background bit-weight calibration in pipelined successive approximation register ADC is proposed. By exploiting the conversion results of the first stage to determine the injection of the dithered signal and introducing two extra capacitors into the first stage to reduce the range of first-stage residue, a robust and totally background calibration is implemented. According to the simulation, the signal-to-noise and distortion ratio and spurious free dynamic range are improved from 66.3 to 73.3 dB and 78.4 to 85.1 dB, respectively, after calibration.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
