SUCCESSIVE APPROXIMATION REGISTER ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER AND ERROR CORRECTION METHOD THEREFOR
An error correction method for a successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter and a successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC) are disclosed, which relate to integrated circuit technology. The successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter error correction method includes the following steps: a. detecting whether a comparator completes a data comparison within a specified time; if so, performing step b; if not, performing step c; b. after the comparator outputs data, starting a next data comparison cycle, and returning to step a; and c. interrupting the conversion, waiting for a signal to start a next conversion, starting the next data comparison cycle, and returning to step a. The method and SAR ADC can effectively prevent problems relating to (1) slow comparator speed caused by dead voltage and (2) burr interference.
