Pipeline ADCs
• High resolution and high speed at the same time.
• Processing rate = 1 sample per cycle.
• Sample-hold amplifier at the input.
• Latency = N. N clock cycles to process each input signal.
• Compact area and efficient power dissipation
• Switch capacitor implementation in CMOS technologies. Capability for high-precision sampling and charge transfer.

Performance Limitations
• Resolution
• Quantization error
• ENOB – Effective number of bits. Commonly used metric for characterizing the performance of non-ideal quantizers.
• INL – Integral Nonlinearity Error
• DNL – Differential Nonlinearity Error.
• Monotonicity.

Why Digital Calibration?
• Improve resolution
• Without any calibration, the pipelined ADC is generally limited to approx. 10-12 bits of resolution. [1]-[2]
• With Digital Calibration, resolution higher than 14 bits can be achieved. [3]-[4]
• Improve capacitor mismatch, comparator offset, charge injection, finite op-amp gain, and capacitor nonlinearity contributing to DNL

Digital Calibration
• Missing decision levels result when the input of any of the stages exceeds the full scale due to mismatches.
• The missing decision levels can be eliminated, by using gain less than 2 and 2 to 3 more stages of pipeline, which gives enough redundancy in the analog decision levels.

Current Techniques
• Correction algorithms taking place continuously. Corrects time-varying inaccuracies caused by supply and temperature variations. [7]
• Measure the offset during normal converter operations.

PRO / CON
• PRO
• Improve accuracy and resolution compared to not having any calibration circuits.
• With calibration techniques, resolution can be improved significantly.
• CON
• Additional Area.
• Complexity of the circuit increases.

Future Challenges
• With newer processes, better capacitor matching is required.
• Minimize the usage of additional circuitry. Further optimization in techniques should improve area utilization and reduce power consumption.
![Page 15: Improvement of Accuracy in Pipelined ADC by methods of Calibration Techniques Presented by : Daniel Chung Course : ECE1352F Professor : Khoman Phang.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022071718/56649eb45503460f94bbcda9/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

• Digital self-calibration technique based on radix < 2 applied to a pipeline ADC was discussed.
• This technique accounts for capacitor mismatch, comparator offset, finite op-amp gain, and for DNL error contributed by circuit nonlinearities.
• Original Digital Calibration techniques executed calibration procedures at the initial turn-on stages. However, more recent methods use continuous calibration techniques, to compensate for the constant variations in supply and temperature.
