摘要:
A method and structure for calibrating an analog to digital converter comprises an input signal; a driver receiving the input signal, wherein the driver outputs a driver output signal; a flash circuit receiving the driver output signal, wherein the flash circuit outputs a comparison result equaling 2n−1 digital outputs; an encoding logic unit encoding the comparison result into n digital bits as an output signal; a calibration engine outputting a calibration input adjust signal, a reference adjust signal, a driver gain adjust signal, a driver offset adjust signal; and a calibration input circuit receiving the calibration input adjust signal, wherein the driver receives the driver gain adjust signal and the driver offset adjust signal, wherein the flash circuit receives the reference adjust signal, wherein the calibration engine receives n digital bits, and controls an operation of the driver or flash circuit based on the output signal.
