To reduce the power dissipation and chip size of digital calibration circuits of pipelined analog-to-digital converter(ADC)
a new statistics-based background calibration technique is presented. In order to improve both the residual distance estimator circuit and the design of look up table(LUT)in binary monotonically function
an adaptive search algorithm and a magnitude incremental comparison algorithm are used in the calibration technique. The technique can reduce the digital circuits' scale of distance estimator and the memory of ROM of LUT. By using the technique
the power dissipation in digital circuits and the chip size are reduced significantly. The improved technique is applied in the implementation of one 12 bit 4×10

pipelined ADC. The
tested results show that power consumption of digital circuits is reduced by 93% and the memory of ROM is saved by 95%
compared with the unimproved technique. The ADC implemented in SMIC 0.18 μm CMOS process consumes 210 mW
and occupies a chip area of 3.3 mm×3.7 mm.
