Digital compensation of DAC mismatches in multibit delta-sigma ADCs
نویسندگان
چکیده
A digital compensation technique to overcome the effects of the digital-to-analogue converter (DAC)’s mismatches in multibit deltasigma modulators is described. The technique is purely digital, does not require the injection of a pilot signal and is compatible with binary-weighted element DACs. Simulation results confirm the validity of the compensation technique for a four-bit, fifth-order lowpass modulator with an oversampling ratio of 12 and 1% mismatch in the DAC elements. The compensated modulator exhibits a peak signalto-noise-and-distortion ratio of 74.5 dB; that is within 0.5 dB of the ideal system without mismatch.

High-Speed Multibit Delta-Sigma ADCs with On-Line Digital Error Correction
Multibit delta-sigma modulators are widely used in recent analog-to-digital converter (ADC) implementations [1, Chapter 8]. Due to their improved stability, they can achieve the same high signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) with lower order modulator and lower oversampling ratio (OSR), i.e. higher speed, than their singlebit counterparts. Also, the use of a multibit feedback relaxes slew-rate and settl...

An oversampled digital-to-analog converter (DAC) with a 100-dB A-weighted dynamic range is presented. It uses a switched-capacitor (SC) array to transfer the sampled charges directly into the headphone driver. The overall DAC gain is precisely controlled by a novel reference stage. A new dynamic element matching algorithm, based on split-set data-weighted averaging (SDWA), is used to improve th...

Single-bit delta-sigma analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) provide high resolution and high dynamic range for low-frequency applications. However, because of limited sampling speeds, single-bit delta-sigma ADCs are not available for applications involving dynamic signals greater than a few hundred kHz in frequency. Multibit delta-sigma ADCs can provide high dynamic range at high frequencies, pr...

A new technique is proposed to eliminate the nonlinear error of a multibit digital-to-analog converter (DAC) used in a sigma-delta modulator where the solidity of multibit DAC against the clock jitter is reserved. By using dual quantization, this technique reduces the bit length of DAC to one bit and consequently eliminates its nonlinear error. A lowpass finite impulse response (FIR) filter wit...

Recently, various multibit noise-shaping digital-toanalog converters (DAC’s) have been proposed that use digital signal processing techniques to cause the DAC noise arising from analog component mismatches to be spectrally shaped. Such DAC’s have the potential to significantly increase the present precision limits of data converters by eliminating the need for one-bit quantization in delta-sigm...
