Interpolation of Microcontroller Adc by Self- Induced Dithering
نویسنده
چکیده
The resolution of ADCs (Analog-to-Digital Converters) can be improved by dithering, i.e. by intentionally injecting white noise into the analog signal. This work describes the theory behind dithering, how to optimize the magnitude of the noise and also a design that illustrates how dithering can be implemented to increase the resolution of a microcontroller’s ADC. In order to demonstrate the potential of the design, the resolution of the 10-bit ADC of a PIC18F458 microcontroller is increased to 12 bits by dithering. This is possible by oversampling and decimation. The great advantage of the proposed design is that the noise is generated by the microcontroller itself, obviating the need of an external noise source.

This paper presents a BIST scheme to test and calibrate on-chip DAC and ADC and to improve both linearity and resolution of converters using a built-in sigma-delta modulator. We use a dithering dynamic element matching (DEM) techniques. A first-order sigma-delta modulator is used to sample DAC outputs because of high linearity of its outputs with high oversampling rate (OSR). The scheme is capa...
