ABSTRACT

This brief proposes a signal-independent background calibration in pipeline-SAR analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) with a convergence-accelerated technique. To achieve signal independence, an auxiliary capacitor array CA is introduced to pre-inject a pseudo-random noise (PN) in the sampling phase to cancel out the opposite PN injection of the calibrated capacitor in the conversion phase, and CA is also used to realize the D/A function of the calibrated capacitor in the conversion phase. In this way, no matter what the signal is, the residue headroom remains unchanged even with PN injection. Moreover, the first sub-ADC is designed with extended conversion bits to quantize its own residue after delivering the conversion bits required by the first stage. Afterwards, this result is provided to the calibration algorithm to reduce the signal component and accelerate the convergence. Based on the simulation, the signal-to-noise and distortion ratio (SNDR) and spur-free dynamic range (SFDR) improve from 45.3 dB and 56.4 dB to 68.2 dB and 88.4 dB, respectively, after calibration. In addition, with the acceleration technique, convergence cycles decrease from 1.7 × 108 to 5.8 × 106. Moreover, no matter whether the input signal is DC, sine wave or band-limited white noise, the calibration all works normally.
