  • Patent number: 9685967
    Abstract: A ?? ADC includes a forward path, a feedback path, and offset compensation circuitry. The forward path is configured to convert an analog input signal to a digital output signal and includes analog chopper circuitry configured to shift the analog input signal to a chopper frequency to generate a chopped analog signal. The feedback path includes a ?? DAC configured to convert a digital offset compensation signal configured to compensate for offset error in the analog input signal to an analog feedback signal that is subtracted from a forward path signal. The offset compensation circuitry is configured to accumulate a chopped digital signal from the forward path to generate a digital offset error signal; add the digital offset error signal to the digital output signal to generate the digital offset compensation signal; and provide the digital offset compensation signal to the ?? DAC.
