    摘要: Pipelined analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) include a flash ADC that reduces noise tones in power supply current drawn by the flash ADC. A pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes a flash ADC and error correction circuitry coupled to the flash ADC. The flash ADC includes a plurality of latched comparators and a plurality of driver circuits. Each of the latched comparators includes an inverting output and a non-inverting output. Each of the driver circuits is coupled to one of the latched comparators, and includes an input terminal and an output terminal. In a first subset of the driver circuits the input terminal is coupled to the inverting output of one of the latched comparators. In a second subset of the driver circuits the input terminal is coupled to the non-inverting output of one of the latched comparators.

    摘要: The disclosure provides a current steering digital to analog converter (DAC) that includes a plurality of DAC elements. At least one DAC element of the plurality of DAC elements is coupled to a calibration circuit. The calibration circuit includes a fixed current source coupled to a primary node of the DAC element through a first estimation switch. A digital code generator is coupled to the primary node, and generates a first digital code corresponding to a primary voltage generated at the primary node. The digital code generator generates a second digital code. A correction DAC is coupled to the digital code generator and generates a bias voltage based on the second digital code. The bias voltage is provided to the DAC element such that a current flowing through each DAC element of the plurality of DAC elements is equal.

    摘要: In described examples, an analog to digital converter (ADC), having an input operable to receive an analog signal and an output operable to output a digital representation of the analog signal, includes a voltage to delay (VD) block. The VD block is coupled to the input of the ADC and generates a delay signal responsive to a calibration signal. A backend ADC is coupled to the VD block, and receives the delay signal. The backend ADC having multiple stages including a first stage. A calibration engine is coupled to the multiple stages and the VD block. The calibration engine measures an error count of the first stage and stores a delay value of the first stage for which the error count is minimum.
