Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods for measuring and compensating a DC-transfer characteristic of analog-to-digital converters are described. A test-signal generator comprising a sigma-delta modulator may provide calibration signals to an ADC. An output from the ADC may be filtered with a notch filter to suppress quantization noise at discrete frequencies introduced by the sigma-delta modulator. The resulting filtered signal may be compared against an input digital signal to the test-signal generator to determine a transfer characteristic of the ADC.
