The merit of the calibration algorithm is that the main errors information, which include the capacitor mismatches and residue amplifier distortion, are extracted integrally. A modified 1st pipelined stage is adopted to solve the signal overflow caused by the Pseudo-random Noise (PN) sequences. Behavioral simulation results verify the effectiveness of the algorithm. It improves the Signal-to-Noise-plus-Distortion Ratio (SNDR) and Spurious-Free-Dynamic-Range (SFDR) of the pipelined ADC from 41.8 dB to 78.3 dB and 55.6 dB to 98.6 dB, respectively, which is comparable to the prior arts.展开更多

The residual voltage was obtained from the sampling capacitor, and the other capacitor was just a temporary storage of charge. Then, the linearity produced by the mismatch of these capacitors was eliminated without adding extra capacitor error-averaging amplifiers. The simulation results confirmed the high linearity and low dissipation of pipelined ADCs implemented in CTST, so CTST was a new method to implement high resolution, small size ADCs.展开更多
