Abstract

A new temperature compensation technique for ringoscillator-based ADC is proposed in this paper. It employs a novel fixed-number-based algorithm and a CTAT current biasing technology to compensate the temperature-dependent variations of the output, thus eliminates the need of digital calibrations. Simulation results prove that, with the proposed technique, the resolution under the temperature range of 0 °C to 100 °C can reach a 2-mV quantization bin size with an input voltage span of 120mV, at the sampling frequency fs=100KHz.
