Abstract:
Analog-to-digital-converters (ADC) are provided. The ADC contains a first capacitive digital-to-analog-converter (CDAC) and a control circuit. The CDAC, including n bit, is configured to connect a kth bit of the n bits to a first voltage reference to provide a first analog signal, convert the first analog signal into first digital code using 0th through (k−1)th bits that are less significant than the kth bit, connect the kth bit of the n bits to a second voltage reference to provide a second analog signal, and convert the second analog signal into second digital code using the 0th through (k−1)th bits that are less significant than the kth bit. The control circuit is configured to estimate a weight of the kth bit based on the first and second digital code.
