The invention discloses a single redundant bit digital
correction method used for an
assembly line A / D converter, which comprises the steps of: 1) distributing the resolution of each stage of sub circuit; 2) quantizing each stage of sub circuit and inputting
voltage to each stage of sub circuit, calculating
residual voltage, amplifying the
residual voltage and translating the
residual voltage to the middle part of a reference
voltage interval; 3) determining codes and offset codes of each stage; 4) calculating the total offset codes; and 5) reconstructing the codes and correcting the error caused by
comparator imbalance so as to obtain the output codes after correction. Compared with the existing conventional
assembly line A / D converter digital
correction method, the method has the following advantages of: flexibly distributing the resolution of each stage of sub circuit and obviously reducing
assembly line
stage number of a high speed and high precision A / D converter, thereby greatly saving the territory area,
power consumption and shortening input-output
delay. The method firstly provides a coding method of a plurality of positive redundant codes and a plurality of negative redundant codes, after the
assembly line A / D converter is corrected by the method, an overflow bit thereof can mark the negative overflow and positive overflow of input signals, namely, bidirectional overflow. The method is applicable to the
assembly line A / D converter, in particular to the field of digital correction of the high speed and high precision A / D converter.
