Flash analog to digital converter and calibration method
Abstract:
A flash analog to digital converter includes double differential comparator circuits and a calibration circuit. Each double differential comparator circuit compares a first input signal with a corresponding voltage in a first set of reference voltages, and compares a second input signal with a corresponding voltage in a second set of reference voltages, in order to generate a corresponding signal in first signals. The calibration circuit outputs a first test signal to be the first input signal and outputs a second test signal to be the second input signal in a test mode, and calibrates a common mode level of each of the first input signal and the second input signal, or calibrates at least one first reference voltage in the first set of reference voltages and at least one second reference voltage in the second set of reference voltages according to a distribution of the first signals.
