Calibrating Control-Bounded ADCs
Abstract
The paper considers the calibration of control-bounded analog-to-digital converters. It is demonstrated that variations of the analog frontend can be addressed by calibrating the digital estimation filter. In simulations (both behavioral and transistor level) of a leapfrog analog frontend, the proposed calibration method restores essentially the nominal performance. Moreover, with digital-filter calibration in mind, the paper reformulates the design problem of control-bounded converters and thereby clarifies the role of sampling, desired filter shape, and nominal conversion error.
