PIPELINED ANALOG-DIGITAL CONVERTERS INTEGRAL NONLINEARITY MODELING FOR POST-CORRECTION

Samer Medawar, Peter Händel, Niclas Björsell, Magnus Jansson

Abstract

An input-dependent integral nonlinearity (INL) model is developed for pipeline ADC post-correction. The INL model consists of a static and dynamic part. The INL model is subtracted from the ADC digital output for compensation. Static compensation is performed by adjacent sets of gains and offsets. Each set compensates a certain output code range. The frequency content of the INL dynamic component is used to design a set of filter blocks that performs ADC compensation in the time domain. The compensation scheme is applied to measured data of two 12-bit ADCs of the same type (Analog Devices AD9430). Significant performance improvements in terms of spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) are obtained.
