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.
