With dithering, weights of most significant bit capacitors can be measured accurately, which relaxes matching requirement in capacitive DAC. In addition, the bypass window technique is used to detect whether the output voltage of the DAC is within a predefined small window, which determines whether to inject the dithering signal.
In this Letter, a dither-based background calibration with the DWA logic is proposed to correct capacitor mismatch and gain error in a pipeline-NS-SAR ADC. There is no detection of injecting the dithering signal in the calibration, leading to little analogue overhead and simple logic.
A dither-based calibration with DWA to correct capacitor mismatch and inter-stage gain error in pipeline-NS-SAR ADCs is proposed in this Letter, which requires no detection for the injection and adds little analogue overhead.
A novel dithering-based calibration technique to correct capacitor mismatch in digital-to-analogue converter (DAC) used in successive approximation register analogue-to-digital converters is proposed. With dithering, weights of most significant bit capacitors can be measured accurately, which relaxes matching requirement in capacitive DAC.
As Fig. 4 shows, dithering is the act of injecting a known but random amount of noise into the input of the ADC. Dither needs to be subtracted from the converter result, thereby avoiding dither leakage .
Dither is added to randomize the residue. The proposed calibration technique uses the capacitor array (C P d 0 − C P d 5 and C N d 0 - C N d 5) to inject dither and form different virtual thresholds during the normal SAR conversion. As Fig. 4 shows, dithering is the act of injecting a known but random amount of noise into the input of the ADC.
What Is Dithering? A Guide to Better Sound Quality
Dithering is especially important when you''re working with lower bit depths, like 16-bit audio. Without dithering, 16-bit recordings can sound harsh and brittle, with audible distortion and noise shaping artifacts. But with proper dithering, even 16-bit recordings can sound surprisingly good. In fact, many classic albums from the 1980s and ...
