17th International Conference on VLSI Design Error Correction In Pipelined ADCS Using Arbitrary Radix Calibration Mumbai, India January 05-January 09 ISBN: 0-7695-2072-3
This paper presents an ADC architecture which enhances accuracy of pipelines conversion using digital calibration. The popular 1.5 bit/stage pipeline architecture is adapted to an arbitrary radix structure. Calibration algorithms that estimate gain errors for two comparators in each pipeline stage are developed using this architecture. A low-noise queuing technique which enables calibration to be performed in background without interrupting the ADC input sample stream is presented.A 12-stage pipeline ADC model is used to demonstrate the effectiveness of calibration algorithms. With 10% error in the interstage gain, calibration improves the accuracy from 5 to 11 bits. Effects of implementation issues such as gain parameter settling, intradie gain variation, and finite word length computation are studied.
