Abstract
- A continuous‐time offset cancelation and gain calibration strategy is proposed for open‐loop residue amplifiers of pipeline ADC's. Utilizing a reliable technique for detecting gain and offset error, also saving digital amounts of the signals that are resulted from the calibration loop, data conversion proceeds without any interruption. In addition, due to sharing this structure between the several RA stages in ADC, power consumption and area occupation are decreased. Also, this strategy does not require extra circuits, like replica residue amplifier or wide‐bits digital processor for offset and gain‐error correction. Using digital circuits results in multiplexing clock frequency; also, utilizing a unit gain and offset calibration structure for the whole RA in the main ADC results in a significant power consumption reduction. The simulations show that the input‐referred offset is reduced to around 30 μV. Also, the gain calibration loop provides a gain of 8 with an error deviation less than 0.001. Post‐layout simulation results are presented at all process corners and various temperatures, using HSPICE software and 0.18 μm standard CMOS technology in 14‐bit 200 MS/s Pipeline ADC with 23 dB improvement in SNR and 3.9 bit in ENOB.
