    摘要: A low-cost charge injection mechanism may enable oversampling to be used on low frequency signals by injecting dither noise into the ADC input. The dither noise can reduce the quantization noise allowing even direct current (DC) signals to be oversampled correctly. A low-cost charge injection mechanism can also be used to improve the ENOB by characterizing the ADC and digitally correcting the converted signal for non-linearity errors such as INL. Reducing INL errors may also allow a higher degree of oversampling to be used to further improve the ENOB.

    摘要: A device includes an RC oscillator circuit and incorporates various features that individually and in combination can help improve the stability or accuracy of the oscillator output frequency. The oscillator circuit is operable to provide a tunable output frequency and includes a bias circuit switchable between first and second modes of operation. One of the modes has less drift in oscillator bias current relative to the other mode. The device also includes drift compensation circuitry that is operable to compensate for drift in the oscillator output frequency in a closed-loop mode of operation based on a comparison of the oscillator output frequency with a reference frequency. The device further includes a processor operable to compensate for temperature-based drift in the oscillator frequency in an open-loop mode of operation based on a measured temperature value in the vicinity of the oscillator circuit.
