Reducing switching error in data converters

In some converter architectures, unary digital-to-analog (DAC) converter elements generate an analog output which represents the digital input signal. Thermometer codes trigger an appropriate number of DAC elements to generate the analog output. The DAC elements are not all perfectly weighted, and mismatch shaping is often used to dynamically equalize the usage of each DAC element during data conversion to average out the mismatches. Unfortunately, mismatch shaping adds additional switching and can worsen the effect of switching errors. Switching errors which are non-linearly dependent on the input causes a second order distortion if the sum of the switching errors corresponding to a set of DAC elements is not zero. Prior to data conversion, calibration can select a subset of DAC elements having a lesser sum of switching errors for data conversion. Other (redundant) DAC elements are not used at all or shut off permanently.

Diesel engine control system

When a learning condition is satisfied, an operational state of an engine is adjusted in a retarded combustion operation to a misfire inducing state, at which misfire is prone to occur in a cylinder of the engine due to shortage of a pilot flame generative injection quantity. When the misfire is sensed, the pilot flame generative injection quantity of the misfired cylinder is progressively increased. Then, when the misfire is eliminated through this, a pilot flame generative correction quantity at the time of eliminating the misfire is stored. Thereafter, the pilot flame generative injection quantity is corrected based on the stored pilot flame generative correction quantity.
