Abstract

A deterministic digital background calibration technique to correct non-linearity in VCO-based ADCs is presented. Implemented in 90nm CMOS process, on-chip calibration improves SFDR of the prototype ADC from 46dB to more than 83dB. The ADC consumes 4.1mW power and achieves 73.9dB SNDR in 5MHz signal bandwidth.
