背景校正法
背景校正法是预先编好程序
,
在转换时不需要进一步的指令就能对预订的频率进行校正
。
在背景校
正法中
,
转换器与输入信号相互断开
,
而在内部进行偏置校正
。
每一类的校正都被存储在转换器内置的
寄存器中
,
并可以在随后的的每次转换中使用
。
转换器的运算法则会在后来的每次转换结果中增加或减
去偏置校正量
,
同时算法也会在每次转换中划分增益校正
。
自校正
接受指令后
,
转换器与外部输入信号断开后即开始自校正
。
一旦自校正开始
,
转换器执行一个内部
偏置或者是增益校正算法
,
其运算法则会在后来的每次转换结果中增加或减去校正偏置量
。
系统校正
接受指令后
,
系统开始自校正
,
同时与外部输入信号相连接
。
在这个模式下
,
转换器可以按照两条
独立的指令进行偏置校正和增益校正

Glossary of Terms
Calibration:
• Background Calibration–
Background calibrations are pre-programmed and occur at a scheduled frequency during converter
operation without further instructions. During a background calibration, the converter is disconnected
from the input signal and an internal offset and/or gain calibration occurs. The results for each
calibration are stored in the internal registers of the converter and applied to every conversion after the
calibration occurs. The converter algorithm subsequently adds or subtracts the offset calibration value
with every conversion result. The converter algorithm also divides the gain calibration value with every
conversion.
• Self-Calibration–
On command, a self-calibration occurs as the converter is disconnected from the input signal. Once
this calibration occurs, the converter performs an internal offset and/or gain calibration algorithm. The
converter algorithm subsequently adds or subtracts the offset calibration value with every conversion
result. The converter algorithm also divides the gain calibration value with every conversion.
• System Calibration–
On command, a system calibration occurs with the input signal connected. In this mode, the converter
calibrates offset and gain, including the external input signal(s), on two separate commands. The offset
calibration is performed with the assumed zero applied to the input of the converter. The converter
algorithm subsequently adds or subtracts the offset calibration value with every following conversion
result. The user can then perform the gain calibration with an assumed full-scale signal applied to the
input. The converter algorithm also divides the gain calibration value with every following conversion.
Clock:
• Duty Cycle–
The duty cycle of a clock signal is the ratio of the time the clock signal remains at a logic high (clock
pulse width) to the period of the clock signal. Duty cycle is typically expressed as a percentage value.
The duty cycle of a perfect square wave or a differential sine wave is 50%.
• Jitter–
The standard deviation of clocking the A/D converter sampling edge (can be a rising edge or falling
edge, depending on the specific A/D converter) variation from pulse-to-pulse in time. This instability of
the clock signal may cause converter errors as well as an increase in converter noise.
The total jitter includes both aperture and clock jitter, and is equal to:
Where:
• t
a
is the root-mean-square of the aperture jitter;
• t
c
is the root-mean-square of the clock jitter
There is no correlation between the clock-jitter and aperture-jitter terms; therefore, these terms can be
combined on a root-sum-square basis (rss). In most cases, the clock jitter is several times higher than
the A/D converter aperture jitter, making the clock jitter the dominant jitter noise source in the system.
Clock jitter can impact the SNR of the converter at medium and higher frequencies. The aperture jitter,
along with clock jitter of the sampling system, impacts the overall SNR of the conversion. The
contribution of jitter to the SNR of the conversion is equal to:
Where:
• t
j
is the clock and aperture jitter;
• f is the clock frequency of the converter
• Slew Rate–
The time derivative (δV/δt) of the clock signal (digital input or digital output) as it passes through the
logic, voltage threshold.
