Abstract

The invention provides a pipeline-type analog-to-digital converter and a method thereof, specifically to a method and a device for reducing capacitor mismatch error in a pipeline-type analog-to-digital converter (ADC). The pipeline-type analog-to-digital converter comprises a plurality of pipeline element circuits which are corresponding to given positions of the ADC respectively. When the pipeline-type analog-to-digital converter runs in a capacitor mismatch correcting period, a first pipeline element circuit digitalizes analog A and B capacitor mismatch error correcting voltages generated by the pipeline element circuits of the ADC. Digital representations, which are corresponding to the analog A and B capacitor mismatch error correcting voltages, of the pipeline element circuits are sent to an output shift register and summing circuit which generates capacitor mismatch error correcting codes corresponding to the positions and pipeline element circuits. After conversion of analog signals input to the ADC, the capacitor mismatch error correcting codes are applied to various weights of the ADC.

Description

technical field [0001] Various embodiments of the invention described herein relate generally to the field of analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), and also to devices included in touchscreens, touchpads, and / or touchpanels. field of the ADC in the controller. Background technique [0002] To increase bit resolution in digital imaging applications for navigation (for example, in capacitive touch screen integrated controllers, or in integrated optical imagers in finger navigation elements / mouse), it is often necessary to Measures are taken during the design phase to resolve issues caused by mismatches between the various integrated components in the ADC. Pipelined ADC architectures are frequently used in imaging applications due to their ability to simultaneously process multiple elements in an array of imaging data. In metal oxide silicon (MOS) pipelined ADCs and integrated circuits containing them, the most matched components are usually in the multiplying digital-to-analo...
