Combination of an analog to digital converter with a sampling switch error correction circuit and least significant bit circuit

摘要

An analog to digital converter is provided which includes a binary weighted capacitor array connected with a series of resistors structured as an array. The converter provides for charge correction to compensate for any capacitance deviation in the capacitor array. The converter includes a charge redistribution sequence under the control of a microcomputer to determine the digital value of the analog input using the resistor array to determine the least significant bit positions of the analog input. This same resistor array is also used to correct for capacitor value deviations in the binary weighted capacitor array.
