Incremental Analog-to-Digital Converter with High Resolution and Low Power for Measurement of Ultra-Low-Frequency Signals
An incremental analog-to-digital converter(I-ADC)with chopper stabilization(CHS)and self-calibration techniques is presented to meet the requirements of high resolution
low power consumption and small area for measuring devices of ultra-low-frequency signals. The I-ADC has the function of reset operation to avoid pattern noise caused by ultra-low-frequency signals. A first-order architecture is adopted for the I-ADC to reduce power consumption and chip area
and to achieve 14-bit resolution by increasing certain conversion time. The chopper stabilization technique is employed to eliminate the influence of amplifier's low-frequency noise and offset on the I-ADC's precision
and power-on self-calibration is employed to eliminate the systematic offset of the I-ADC. The circuit of the I-ADC and the layout of the modulator are designed with the DongBu 0.5 μm BCD technology. Simulation results in an input range of -156.25~156.25 mV show that the maximum absolute conversion error of the I-ADC is 21 μV
the maximum errors of differential nonlinearity and integral nonlinearity are 0.12 and 0.21 bit
respectively
and the average current consumption of the modulator is only 20 μA. The modulator occupies a chip area of only 150 μm×310 μm. The proposed I-ADC achieves 14 bit resolution
which is required by ultra-low-frequency signal measuring systems
such as lithium-ion battery coulometer
and has significant advantages of low power consumption and small area.
