Homogeneity Enforced Calibration of Stage Nonidealities for Pipelined ADCs
Pipelined analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are fundamental components of various signal processing systems requiring high sampling rates and a high linearity. Over the past years, calibration techniques have been intensively investigated to increase the linearity. In this work, we propose an equalization-based calibration technique which does not require knowledge of the ADC input signal for calibration. For that, a test signal and a scaled version of it are fed into the ADC sequentially, while only the corresponding output samples are used for calibration. Several test signal sources are possible, such as a signal generator (SG) or the system application (SA) itself. For the latter case, the presented method corresponds to a background calibration technique. Thus, slowly changing errors are tracked and calibrated continuously. Because of the low computational complexity of the calibration technique, it is suitable for an on-chip implementation. Ultimately, this work contains an analysis of the stability and convergence behavior as well as simulation results.

Bi-Linear Homogeneity Enforced Calibration for Pipelined ADCs
Pipelined analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are key enablers in many state-of-the-art signal processing systems with high sampling rates. In addition to high sampling rates, such systems often demand a high linearity. …
When Guidance Goes Off-Scale: Recalibrating Diffusion Transformers under Analog Compute-in-Memory Nonidealities
Diffusion Transformers (DiTs) incur high memory traffic and energy costs because sampling repeatedly evaluates large denoisers dominated by linear operations. Analog compute-in-memory (CIM) can alleviate these costs by e…
