Improving Accuracy of Analog-to-Digital Converters

چکیده

This paper introduces three popular analog-to-digital converter (ADC) architectures to readers: the flash ADC, the multi-step flash ADC, and the pipeline ADC. The fundamental operating principles of these three architectures are described. The specific topic of interest of this paper is methods of improving ADC accuracy. For the flash ADC, the concept of 2X interpolation to increase ADC resolution without significant area/power overhead is described. A design technique in reducing inter-channel mismatch for a time-interleaved multi-step flash ADC is then presented. Finally for the pipeline ADC architecture, a “passive capacitor mismatch error averaging” methodology is illustrated which relaxes capacitor matching requirement, reducing first order mismatch errors to second order.

Improving adaptive resolution of analog to digital converters using least squares mean method

This paper presents an adaptive digital resolution improvement method for extrapolating and recursive analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The presented adaptively enhanced ADC (AE-ADC) digitally estimates the digital equivalent of the input signal by utilizing an adaptive digital filter (ADF). The least mean squares (LMS) algorithm also determines the coefficients of the ADF block. In this sch...

Analysis of Integral Nonlinearity in Radix-4 Pipelined Analog-to-Digital Converters

In this paper an analytic approach to estimate the nonlinearity of radix-4 pipelined analog-to-digital converters due to the circuit non-idealities is presented. Output voltage of each stage is modeled as sum of the ideal output voltage and non-ideal output voltage (error voltage), in which non-ideal output voltage is created by capacitor mismatch, comparator offset, input offset, and finite ga...

Modeling and Simulation of Substrate Noise in Mixed-Signal Circuits Applied to a Special VCO

The mixed-signal circuits with both analog and digital blocks on a single chip have wide applications in communication and RF circuits. Integrating these two blocks can cause serious problems especially in applications requiring fast digital circuits and high performance analog blocks. Fast switching in digital blocks generates a noise which can be introduced to analog circuits by the common su...

Measurement Accuracy of Oscillation-Based Test of Analog-to-Digital Converters

© 2010 ETRI Journal, Volume 32, Number 1, February 2010 Oscillation-based testing of analog-to-digital converters represents a viable option for low-cost built-in self-testing in mixed-signal design. While numerous papers have addressed implementation issues, little attention has been paid to the measurement accuracy. In this letter, we highlight an inherent measurement uncertainty which has to...

Incremental Data Converters

Incremental data converters (IDCs) are high-accuracy oversampled analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). They form a special subclass of the commonly used delta-sigma ADCs. Unlike the latter, IDCs are only operated intermittently, typically for a few hundred clock periods, and hence they possess only a finite memory. They offer advantages in high accuracy, stability, absence of idle tones, low pow...
