The invention belongs to the technical field of analog-digital 
converters, and particularly relates to a capacitive 
nonlinear calibration circuit of a bit-by-bit approximation analog-
digital converter and a method. The circuit structurally comprises a digital-analog converter, a 
clock control circuit, a calibration 
logic control circuit, an error measurement and storage circuit, a summator logic circuit, a 
comparator circuit and a bit-by-bit approximation analog-
digital converter logic circuit. The method comprises the steps that the calibration 
logic control circuit is switched on, the analog-
digital converter starts to carry out error measurement, and the error measurement and storage circuit calculates and stores the error factors of capacitors on all bits respectively; after the error factors are all stored, the calibration 
logic control circuit is switched off, and the analog-digital converter adds output codes and the error factors through the summator to obtain the final calibration output code. The capacitive 
nonlinear calibration circuit and the method are suitable for the high-precision low-power-consumption bit-by-bit approximation analog-digital converter, and mainly have the 
advantage that under the condition of not adding extra analog circuits, nonlinear errors caused by stray capacitors and 
capacitor array mistaching in a calibration 
capacitor array and hardware and 
power consumption cost are low.
