Abstract

The invention relates to an automatic correction circuit and a method of a capacitor. The automatic correction circuit comprises a reference capacitor, a capacitor array, a correction circuit and a counting unit, wherein the capacitor array comprises a target capacitor and a plurality of comprehension capacitors. The invention corrects the capacitor array by utilizing an average parameter value generated by multiple corrections so that the capacitor array approaches to the reference capacitor. The invention decides the values of the comprehension capacitors to be connected in parallel to the target capacitor by utilizing the average value of multiple corrections so that errors caused by single correction can be avoided, and correction errors caused by a reference voltage error or noise can be reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an automatic correction circuit and method of capacitance, in particular to an automatic correction circuit and method of capacitance which can reduce correction errors caused by reference voltage errors. Background technique [0002] A successive approximation type analog to digital converter (ADC) usually has a precise resistor array or capacitor array, and the resistors or capacitors are arranged in a binary-weighted manner. Taking the capacitor array as an example, except for the capacitor with the highest bit, the capacitance value of each capacitor will be 1 / 2 of that of the other capacitor, which decreases in order to form a capacitor array with binary weights. When the capacitance value is inaccurate, the dynamic nonlinearity (dynamical nonlinearity) error of the analog-to-digital converter will increase accordingly, resulting in conversion errors between analog and digital signals. [0003] In the integrated circuit m...
