Calibration circuit for an analog-to-digital converter
Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to a calibration circuit for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The calibration circuit includes a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) configured to generate a calibration voltage from a digital input, and a DC feedback control circuit. The DC feedback control circuit includes an ADC driver configured to operate in both an ADC calibration mode and in an ADC operation mode such that dynamic parameters of the ADC driver are unchanged when the ADC driver is operating in the ADC calibration mode and when the ADC driver is operating in the ADC operation mode. The DC feedback control circuit is also configured to: receive the calibration voltage from the DAC; modify the calibration voltage by cancelling offsets in the calibration voltage; and provide the modified calibration voltage to the ADC.
