Abstract:
A multi-bit sigma delta modulator with one DAC capacitor and a DAC(Digital-Analog Converter) for the multi-bit sigma delta modulator are provided to increase the number of output levels of the DAC by expanding the DAC capacitor. A multi-bit sigma delta modulator includes an operation amplifier(21), a sampling capacitor(22), an integration capacitor(23), a DAC capacitor(24), switches(25,26,27), and a switching controller(28). The sampling capacitor(22) is connected between the first switch(26) and an input terminal of the operation amplifier(21). The first switch(26) is connected between the input terminal of the operation amplifier(21) and a ground. The second switch(27) is connected between an input(IN) and the sampling capacitor(22). The integration capacitor(23) connects an output(OUT) and the input terminal of the operation amplifier(21) to form a negative feedback loop. The DAC capacitor(24) is connected between the DAC switch(25) and the input terminal of the operation amplifier(21). The DAC switch(25) connects reference voltages(Vrefp,Vcm,Vrefn) to the DAC capacitor(24) for a DAC of a switched capacitor structure to perform a desired operation. The switching controller(28) controls operation of the DAC switch(25) by generating a control signal according to an ADC output code of a modulator.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for correcting a capacitor mismatch and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using thereof are provided to correct a mismatch between capacitors regardless of the bit numbers of a lower bit and an upper bit. CONSTITUTION: An ADC comprises a capacitor array unit (100) and a correction unit (400). The capacitor array unit includes a separable weighting capacitor having a first end connected to a left unit capacitor row and a second end connected to a right capacitor row; and a correction capacitor connected directly between the first end and a ground terminal the separable weighting capacitor. The capacitor array unit collects a sample of differences between a first reference voltage and an analog input voltage using the right unit capacitor row and the left unit capacitor row in a capacitor mismatch mode. The correction unit determines whether a capacitor mismatch occurs or not based on a digital signal, and changes capacitance of the correction capacitor if the capacitor mismatch occurs.

PURPOSE: A digital analog converter which applies an electric charge subtraction method is provided to minimize errors of capacitors and relatively reduce a size of a decoder. CONSTITUTION: A control signal generating device(340) generates a switch control signal in response to digital data of N bits. A resistance string(310) comprises a first resistor array, a second resistor array, and a third resistor array which respectively divide multiple resistances which are connected between a reference voltage and a grounding voltage in series. A switch block(320) outputs a selection voltage by switching a part of voltage which is applied to any node of multiple serial resistances respectively included in the first resistor array, the second resistor array, and the third resistor array in response to the switch control signal. A conversion voltage generating block(330) generates a conversion voltage in response to a negative phase clock signal which is opposite to a positive phase clock signal.

PURPOSE: A digital to analog converter for revising mismatch between capacitors is provided to reduce error possibility in a display output by revising errors due to mismatch between capacitors. CONSTITUTION: A DAC(Digital To Analog Converter) is composed of three capacitors(C1,C2,C3) with the same capacity as one operational amplifier(10) and switches(S1-S9). The operational amplifier includes a first input terminal, a second input terminal, and an output terminal. The second input terminal is connected to a ground terminal. A second capacitor and a third capacitor are used to revise mismatch between capacitors. The first capacitor, the second capacitor, the third capacitor, and the operational amplifier are differently connected for sampling and mismatch correction according to a turn on and off operation of the switch.
