Abstract
A comparator offset voltage self-correction circuit is disclosed. A comparator offset voltage which is caused by the semiconductor process parameter randomness also has randomness. Due to the randomness of the comparator offset voltage, a reference voltage of a parallel comparator in a parallel-conversion-type analog-to-digital converter is uncertain. If the comparator offset voltage is large, the parallel-conversion-type analog-to-digital converter may even have a functional error. The comparator offset voltage self-correction circuit provided in the present invention can correct a random offset voltage of a comparator to meet requirements. Therefore, by means of the circuit and a method provided in the present invention, adverse influence of the random offset of the comparator on the function and the performance of the parallel-conversion-type analog-to-digital converter is eliminated, thereby greatly improving the speed and the performance of the analog-to-digital converter, in particular the parallel-conversion-type analog-to-digital converter.
