摘要:

针对流水线结构模拟数字转换器(ADC)中电容失配及放大器增益非线性引入的误差,提出一种新的数字校正技术.基于误差的频域特性,对电容失配和放大器增益非线性进行检测.每次检测后,通过变步长爬山算法和迭代算法,在数字域相应地调整校正函数来消除误差.基于该数字校正方法设计一个带有放大器增益非线性和1%电容失配的15位100MSPS的流水线ADC.仿真结果表明,经过数字校正SNDR和SFDR分别从56.4 dB和60.4 dB提高到91 dB和107.6 dBc,验证了该数字校正方法的有效性.

Abstract:

This paper proposed a novel digital calibration technique that can correct the capacitor mismatch and amplifier gain nonlinearity errors in pipelined ADCs. These errors were estimated based on their frequency-domain characteristics. Every time after estimation, the recovery function in digital domain was adjusted accordingly through a variable-step hill-climbing algorithm and an iteration algorithm to cancel those errors. Based on the proposed calibration method, a 15-bit 100MSPS pipelined ADC with amplifier gain nonlinearity and 1% capacitor mismatch was designed. Simulation results show that SNDR and SFDR improve from 56.4 dB to 91 dB and from 60.4 dBc to 107.6 dBc with this calibration technique, respectively. The effectiveness of the proposed calibration method is verified.
