[0052] With the update and progress of wireless communication technologies, the bandwidth, speed, and power consumption of analog-to-digital converters are driven to develop in a more optimal direction, and the continuous-time delta-sigma ADC (Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converter) emerges as the times require. To improve the performance of the continuous-time delta-sigma ADC, the rate of the sampling clock is getting higher and higher, reaching up to GHz (gigahertz), and the requirements for the quantizer are also getting higher and higher. Therefore, a fully dynamic comparator is adopted in the quantizer. This comparator has a high speed, but has a large offset and noise. The large offset voltage will cause the transfer function of the continuous-time delta-sigma ADC to change, resulting in a decline in the performance of the analog-to-digital converter or system oscillation.

[0053] To solve the above problems, the present invention proposes an offset correction circuit, aiming to solve the technical problem of the decline in the performance of the analog-to-digital converter.

[0054] Reference Figure 1 , Figure 1 is a schematic structural diagram provided for the first embodiment of the offset correction circuit of the present invention. The offset correction circuit is applied to the analog-to-digital converter 3, and the offset correction circuit includes:

[0055] a control module 1 and a correction module 2;

[0056] The control module 1 is respectively connected to the analog-to-digital converter 3 and the correction module 2; the correction module 2 is connected to the analog-to-digital converter 3;

[0057] The correction module 2 is configured to perform data correction on the analog-to-digital converter 3 when the circuit is powered on, and transmit a correction completion signal to the control module 1 when the data correction is completed;

[0058] The control module 1 is configured to compare the correction completion signal with a preset completion signal, and obtain the power of the analog-to-digital converter 3 when the correction completion signal is consistent with the preset completion signal;

[0059] The control module 1 is further configured to perform power correction on the analog-to-digital converter 3 to make the output power of the analog-to-digital converter 3 reach a preset power range.

[0060] It should be noted that in this embodiment, the above analog-to-digital converter is a continuous-time delta-sigma ADC (Delta-Sigma Analog-to-Digital Converter);

[0061] It should be noted that the above preset power range can be the power range when the accuracy and dynamic performance of the above analog-to-digital converter 3 both reach the target requirements under PVT (Process, Voltage, Temperature) conditions, and the specific range is calibrated by technical personnel according to actual requirements.

[0062] In a specific implementation, when the above-mentioned calibration module 2 powers on the entire above-mentioned offset calibration circuit, it performs data calibration on the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter 3, and transmits the above-mentioned calibration completion signal to the above-mentioned control module 1 when the above-mentioned data calibration is completed. After receiving the above-mentioned calibration completion signal, the above-mentioned control module 1 compares it with the above-mentioned preset completion signal. If the above-mentioned calibration completion signal is consistent with the above-mentioned preset completion signal, it obtains the power of the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter 3. If the above-mentioned calibration completion signal is inconsistent with the above-mentioned preset completion signal, it controls the above-mentioned calibration module 2 to re-perform the above-mentioned data calibration on the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter 3, and repeats until the above-mentioned calibration completion signal is consistent with the above-mentioned preset completion signal. The above-mentioned control module 1 is also used to perform power calibration on the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter 3. If the power output by the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter 3 reaches the above-mentioned preset power range, it stops the power calibration work of the above-mentioned control module 1. If the power output by the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter 3 does not reach the above-mentioned preset power range, it controls the capacitor array in the above-mentioned calibration module 3 to calibrate the output power of the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter 3. Through the above-mentioned data calibration and power calibration, the performance of the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter in the working state is ensured.

[0063] To ensure that the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter 3 is more accurate and efficient during the calibration process, refer to Figure 2 , Figure 2 which is the structural schematic diagram provided by the second embodiment of the offset calibration circuit of the present invention.

The calibration completion signal includes a DAC calibration completion signal, a quantizer calibration completion signal, and an RC calibration completion signal. The calibration module 2 includes:

[0065] a DAC calibration sub-unit 21, a quantizer calibration sub-unit 22, and an RC calibration sub-unit 23;

[0066] The above-mentioned control module 1 and the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter 3 are respectively connected to the above-mentioned DAC calibration sub-unit 21, the above-mentioned quantizer calibration sub-unit 22, and the above-mentioned RC calibration sub-unit 23;

[0067] The DAC calibration sub-unit 21 is used to perform the DAC calibration on the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter 3 when the circuit powers on, and transmit the DAC calibration completion signal to the above-mentioned control module 1 when the DAC calibration is completed;

[0068] The quantizer calibration sub-unit 22 is used to perform the quantizer calibration on the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter 3 when the DAC calibration is completed, and transmit the quantizer calibration completion signal to the above-mentioned control module 1 when the quantizer calibration is completed;

[0069] The RC calibration subunit 23 is configured to perform the RC parameter calibration on the analog-to-digital converter 3 when the quantizer calibration is completed, and transmit the RC calibration completion signal to the control module 1 when the RC parameter calibration is completed.

[0070] It should be noted that the above DAC calibration is current source mismatch calibration. Current source mismatch calibration refers to the process of calibrating the current source to eliminate or reduce its mismatch error. In a current-steering digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the mismatch of the current source will have a negative impact on the linearity and performance of the DAC.

[0071] It should be noted that the above quantizer calibration is comparator offset calibration. The reasons for comparator offset may include manufacturing process deviations, temperature changes, power supply voltage fluctuations, and component aging, etc. These factors may cause changes in the input offset voltage or offset current of the comparator, thus affecting its normal operation.

[0072] It should be noted that the above RC parameter calibration is to correct and adjust the resistance and capacitance values in the circuit.

[0073] It can be understood that the above DAC calibration completion signal, the above quantizer calibration completion signal, and the above RC calibration completion signal are all high-level signals.

[0074] In a specific implementation, when the circuit is powered on, the above DAC calibration subunit 21 performs the above DAC calibration on the analog-to-digital converter 3, and transmits the above DAC calibration completion signal to the control module 1 when the DAC calibration is completed.

The above RC calibration subunit is configured to perform the above RC parameter calibration on the analog-to-digital converter 3 when both the above DAC calibration and the above quantizer calibration are completed, and transmit the above RC calibration completion signal to the control module 1 when the RC parameter calibration is completed, wherein the above RC parameter calibration is performed as the last step.

[0075] In an embodiment, the preset completion signal includes a DAC preset completion signal, a quantizer preset completion signal, and an RC preset completion signal. The control module 1 includes:

[0076] A DAC control subunit 11, a quantizer control subunit 12, and an RC control subunit 13;

[0077] The DAC control sub-unit 11 is respectively connected to the quantizer control sub-unit 12, the DAC calibration sub-unit 21, and the quantizer calibration sub-unit 22; the quantizer control sub-unit 12 is respectively connected to the RC control sub-unit 13 and the quantizer calibration sub-unit 22; the RC control sub-unit 13 is respectively connected to the RC calibration sub-unit 23 and the analog-to-digital converter 3;

[0078] The DAC control sub-unit 11 is configured to compare the DAC calibration completion signal with the DAC preset completion signal, and when the DAC calibration completion signal is consistent with the DAC preset completion signal, send a first execution signal to the quantizer control sub-unit 12;

[0079] The quantizer control sub-unit 12 is configured to, when receiving the first execution signal, compare the quantizer calibration completion signal with the quantizer preset completion signal, and when the quantizer calibration completion signal is consistent with the quantizer preset completion signal, send a second execution signal to the RC control sub-unit 13;

[0080] The RC control sub-unit 13 is configured to, when receiving the second execution signal, compare the RC calibration completion signal with the RC preset completion signal, and when the RC calibration completion signal is consistent with the RC preset completion signal, obtain the power of the analog-to-digital converter 3.

[0081] It should be noted that in order to meet the timing working problem of the circuit, the above first execution signal is used to control the quantizer control sub-unit 12 to work when the DAC control sub-unit 11 finishes working, and the above second execution signal is used to control the RC control sub-unit 13 to work when the quantizer control sub-unit 12 finishes working.

[0082] It can be understood that the above DAC preset completion signal is a signal with 16-bit data precision, the above first execution signal is a signal with 128-bit data precision, the above quantizer preset completion signal and the above second execution signal are signals with 64-bit data precision, and the above RC preset completion signal is a signal with 8-bit data precision.

[0083] In a specific implementation, the above-mentioned DAC control sub-unit 11 is used to compare the above-mentioned DAC calibration completion signal with the above-mentioned DAC preset completion signal, and when the above-mentioned DAC calibration completion signal is consistent with the above-mentioned DAC preset completion signal, send the above-mentioned first execution signal to the above-mentioned quantizer control sub-unit; the above-mentioned quantizer control sub-unit 12 is used to compare the above-mentioned quantizer calibration completion signal with the above-mentioned quantizer preset completion signal when receiving the above-mentioned first execution signal, and when the above-mentioned quantizer calibration completion signal is consistent with the above-mentioned quantizer preset completion signal, send the above-mentioned second execution signal to the above-mentioned RC control sub-unit 13; the above-mentioned RC control sub-unit 13 is used to compare the above-mentioned RC calibration completion signal with the above-mentioned RC preset completion signal when receiving the above-mentioned second execution signal, and when the above-mentioned RC calibration completion signal is consistent with the above-mentioned RC preset completion signal, obtain the power of the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter 3.

[0087] The clock module 4 is used to provide clock signals to the analog-to-digital converter 3 and the control module 1.

[0088] In a specific implementation, the above-mentioned clock module 4 is used to provide clocks to the above-mentioned control module 1 and the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter 3. Since the clock rate of the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter is very high, when the circuit operates at this rate up to GHz, it will cause timing chaos and high power consumption. Therefore, it is necessary to perform frequency division processing on the clock of the above-mentioned analog-to-digital converter 3. Low-speed frequency division is adopted in the above-mentioned DAC calibration and the above-mentioned quantizer calibration, and normal clocks are adopted in the above-mentioned RC parameter calibration and normal operation. To ensure that the two clocks do not affect each other, when the above-mentioned control module 1 uses a low-speed clock during the above-mentioned DAC calibration and the above-mentioned quantizer calibration, the clock is automatically turned off after the calibration is completed, and a high-speed clock starts to be output.

[0089] In one embodiment, the offset correction circuit further includes:

[0090] A decimation module 5;

[0091] The decimation module 5 is connected to the analog-to-digital converter 3;

[0092] The decimation module 5 is used to reduce the data volume of the power.

[0093] In a specific implementation, due to the relatively high clock frequency, it is difficult for the above-mentioned offset correction circuit to operate at such a high frequency. Therefore, it is necessary to reduce the sampling rate for subsequent digital processing, that is, to reduce the amount of data of the above-mentioned power.

[0094] In one embodiment, the offset correction circuit further includes:

[0099] In one embodiment, the control module 1 is further configured to transmit a correction execution signal to the correction module 2 when detecting that the circuit is powered on.

[0100] It should be noted that the above-mentioned correction execution signal is used to activate the above-mentioned correction module 2.

[0101] In a specific implementation, the above-mentioned control module 1 transmits the above-mentioned correction execution signal to the above-mentioned correction module 2 when detecting that the circuit is powered on.
