Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The present invention relates to an integrated digital calibration circuit and digital-to-analog converter (DAC) for adjusting, modifying, adjusting or correcting the endpoints of a DAC transfer function.
[0002] related application
[0003] This application claims U.S. Provisional Application Serial No. 60 / 413,909 filed by Dempsey et al., entitled "DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER SYSTEMCALIBRATION," filed November 4, 2002 (AD-332J), and Serial No. 60,414,166, the applicant is Dempsey et al., entitled "DIGITAL-TO-ANALOG CONVERTER CALIBRATIONARCHITECTURE & SCHEME", the priority of the US provisional application filed on September 27, 2002. Background technique
[0004] In most cases, it is necessary to adjust and control the DAC endpoints, such as zero scale (zeroscale), full scale (full scale) or gain and offset. One of the more important applications is endpoint error correction. That is, corrections for zero-scale and full-scale errors and gain and o...
