SELF CALIBRATING DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER
摘要:
A self-calibrating digital-to-analog converter (DAC) is disclosed. The self-calibrating DAC includes a DAC including a least significant bit (LSB) side resistor network and a most significant bit (MSB) side resistor network. At least the MSB side resistor network includes a plurality of trimmable resistors. A resistance to frequency converter coupled with an output of the DAC is included to generate a frequency fL based on a value of the LSB side resistor network or the MSB side resistor network. A monitor is included to generate a counter value by comparing fL with a high frequency clock having a constant frequency fH. A memory is included to store at least two counter values generating by comparing fL and fH once when the LSB side resistor network is connected while the MSB side resistor network is floating and once when the LSB side resistor network is floating while only one of the resistors in the MSB side resistor network is connected and all other resistors in the MSB side resistor network are floating. A comparator is included to compare the at least two counter values. A trimming controller is included to generate a trimming signal to trim one of the plurality of trimmable resistors based on an output of the comparator.
