ADC error correction

Iterative Method and Dithering with Averaging used for Correction of ADC Error

Additive iterative method in combination with averaging of dithered samples is designed for self-correction of ADC linearity error in the paper. Iterative method is one of the automated error correction techniques. Dithering is a special tool for quantizer performance enhancement. Dither theory for Gaussian noise and averaging has been used for exhibition of method abilities in ADC characterist...

An 8-b 650-MHz Folding ADC

An 8-b 650-MHz folding analog-to-digital converter (ADC) with analog error correction in the comparators is presented. With an input frequency of 150 MHz, 7.8 effective bits are obtained. The ADC is implemented in a 1-pm 13-GHz triple-level interconnect bipolar process, requiring 850 mW from a single -4.5-V supply. The die size is 4.2 mm’.

Two-Step Single Slope/SAR ADC with Error Correction for CMOS Image Sensor

Conventional two-step ADC for CMOS image sensor requires full resolution noise performance in the first stage single slope ADC, leading to high power consumption and large chip area. This paper presents an 11-bit two-step single slope/successive approximation register (SAR) ADC scheme for CMOS image sensor applications. The first stage single slope ADC generates a 3-bit data and 1 redundant bit...

Design and Development of a High Speed Pipelined-Cyclic ADC with 1.5 bits/Stage Error Correction

The paper describes an improved architecture of an 8-bit Analog to Digital Converter (ADC) based upon both the traditional Pipeline and the Cyclic ADC architectures. Cyclic ADC has a very low component count but the flip side is that it has a very low speed. On the other hand, a pipeline ADC has a comparatively higher speed but needs more number of components than a Cyclic ADC the component cou...

Self-Correction of ADC Error Using Additive Iterative Method and Averaging of Dithered Samples

In the paper the combination of additive iterative algorithm with averaging of dithered samples is designed for self-correction of ADC linearity error. Iterative method is known as the aid for automated error correction and dithering uses to be applied for quantiser performance enhancement. Dither theory for Gaussian noise has been used for exhibition of new method abilities in ADC characterist...
