System and apparatus for digitally calibrating capacitors in an analog-to-digital converter using successive approximation

摘要

A digital calibration system for an analog-to-digital converter system includes a computational system receiving digital bits from an analog-to-digital converter representing selection of elements of the digital-to-analog converter in response to an analog input. The computational engine produces a digital output representative of the analog input during conversion operation, and digital values for adjustment of an adjustable analog source during calibration. Further, a digital system comprises a radix-less-than-two non-configurable digital-to-analog converter, a comparator system connected to the converter, and a computational system configured for SAR calibration and conversion.
