Abstract

See full text

A control circuit and a method of calibrating a signal converter (such as DAC) are disclosed. The control circuit can be an existing control circuit, so no additional calibration circuit is required and the circuit area can be reduced. The control circuit can be an embedded microcontroller or other type of microcontroller. In general, the microcontroller includes an analog comparator and an arithmetic unit. With the combination of using the arithmetic unit to execute firmware program codes and using of the analog comparator, the control circuit is able to calibrate the signal converter.
