Digital Background Calibration of Analog to Digital Converters

Digital Background Calibration of Analog to Digital Converters takes a deep look at the digital calibration techniques in analog-to-digital converters. The problem of compensating for analog circuits impairments is divided into a system identification problem and an error compensation problem. Different approaches in modelling the analog impairments are discussed.

Although Digital Background Calibration of Analog to Digital Converters focuses on two popular types of ADCs mainly: Pipeline and Sigma Delta the techniques can be easily used for any analog and mixed-signal design. Design examples are provided that support the theory and show the application of these techniques in designing high performance data acquisitions systems for wireless communication systems, bio-implantable devices and space electronics.
