In this research, investigation was conducted through empirical study to ascertain the importance of correlation level between the auxiliary variable and the study variable to maximally accomplish the importance of auxiliary variable(s) in double sampling. Based on the Statistics criteria employed, which are minimum variance, coefficient of variation and relative efficiency, it was established that the higher the correlation level between the study and auxiliary variable(s) is, the better the estimator is.展开更多

Due to the smaller change of the op-amp＇s output voltage, this topology is very suitable for low power applications. In addition, errors caused by the finite op-amp gain, input offset voltage, and 1/f noise are eliminated with the correlated double sampling technique. Additionally, two-level process calibration techniques are designed to minimize the process spread. Finally, a method of getting a full period valid reference voltage output is discussed and experimental results are provided to verify the effectiveness of the proposed structure.展开更多
