Abstract: A mix-signal high precision common mode charge error calibration circuit is proposed. The calibration circuit can be used to compensate the common mode charge errors caused by the deviation of the charge transfer cutoff voltage of boosted charge transfer introduced by PVT variation, the variation of input common mode charge and the capacitor mismatch in the pipelined sub-stage circuit in the charge domain pipelined ADCs. Based on the proposed calibration circuit, a 14bit 210MS/s charge domain pipelined ADC is designed and realized in a 1P6M 0.18μm CMOS process. Test results show that the 14bit 210MS/s ADC achieves the signal-to-noise ratio of 71.5dBFS and the spurious free dynamic range of 85.4dB, with 30.1MHz input single tone signal at 210MS/s, while the ADC core consumes the power of 205mW and occupies an area of  3.2mm2.
