Abstract:
A self-calibrating analog-to-digital converter includes a reference signal circuit configured to provide a reference signal, an analog-to-digital converter configured to generate a first digital representation of the reference signal, a dual-slope analog-to-digital converter configured to generate a second digital representation of the reference signal, and a digital engine configured to compare the first digital representation with the second digital representation to obtain a difference and output a calibration signal to the analog-to-digital converter in response to the difference. The reference signal circuit, the analog-to-digital converter, the dual-slop analog-to-digital converter, and digital engine are integrated in an integrated circuit.
