Fig. 1 illustrates the functional block diagram of the signal processing system of one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 1, in the present embodiment, signal processing system 100 comprises digital analog converter 110, comparing unit 120, control unit 130 and a test compensating unit 140.Digital analog converter 110 receives a numeral input S iNand produce one first output voltage V oUT1.Comparing unit 120 receives the first output voltage V oUT1and compare the first output voltage V oUT1with one first reference voltage V rEF1, to produce an output valve S d.And then control unit 130 receives output valve S d, and utilize firmware or software to produce numeral input S in data value maps mode accordingly iN, with correcting digital analog converter 110.At this, person handled by signal processing system 100 is such as a video signal.
Specifically, Fig. 2 illustrates the circuit diagram of the digital analog converter of Fig. 1.Please refer to Fig. 2, in the present embodiment, digital analog converter 110 comprises an operational amplifier OP, current source array 112, reference resistance R aDJ, a reference current source I rEF, an output resistance R oUTand a compensating current element I cPS.
In the present embodiment, digital analog converter 110 couples comparing unit 120, and exports its first output voltage V oUT1to comparing unit 120, to utilize comparing unit 120 and specific first reference voltage V rEF1compare.For example, comparing unit 120 can be such as an analog-digital converter or a comparator.If comparing unit 120 implements with a comparator, then this comparator receives the first output voltage V oUT1with the first reference voltage V rEF1compare, to obtain the first output voltage V oUT1level, as shown in Figure 1.If comparing unit 120 implements with an analog-digital converter, then this analog-digital converter can by the first output voltage V oUT1be converted to a digital signal, to represent the first output voltage V oUT1level.In other words, now comparing unit 120 does not need to receive the first reference voltage V in addition rEF1.
Then, signal processing system 100 adjusts reference resistance R by control unit 130 again aDJresistance, adjust the second reference voltage V rEF2or adjustment reference current source I rEFcompare with the mirror of current source array 112 to calibrate.Or signal processing system 100 also adjusts offset current I by test compensating unit 140 cPSsize, to compensate the first output voltage V oUT1because of differential nonlinearity error (Differentialnon-linearity, dNL) skew (offset) that causes.
Furthermore, the first output voltage V oUT1after exporting analog-digital converter or comparator to, its comparative result can be sent to control unit 130.Then, control unit 130 can, by pre-conditioned, decide how to adjust digital analog converter 110 by firmware (firmware) or software (software).Such as, control unit 130 can be selected to adjust reference resistance RADJ by the loop of voltage transitions current source, adjust the second reference voltage V rEF2or adjustment reference current source I rEFwith the mirror ratio of current source array 112.Wherein, the loop of this voltage transitions current source such as comprises operational amplifier OP, reference resistance R aDJand reference current source I rEF.
Specifically, Fig. 3 illustrates the method flow diagram of the resistance of the control unit adjustment reference resistance of one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 1 to Fig. 3, in the present embodiment, self-calibrating digital-to-analogue conversion method is such as be suitable for signal processing system 100 that Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 illustrate and digital analog converter 110, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
First, in step S300, the given numeral input S of control unit 130 iNto digital analog converter 110.Wherein, numeral input S iNit is such as a video signal.Then, in step s 302, digital analog converter 110 is according to numeral input S iNexport the first corresponding output voltage V oUT1to comparing unit 120.Afterwards, in step s 304, control unit 130 reads an output valve S of comparing unit 120 d, to judge the first output voltage V oUT1level whether in a desired extent.In the present embodiment, comparing unit 120 is such as an analog-digital converter, therefore output valve S dsuch as the first output voltage V oUT1the digital signal obtained via Analog-digital Converter, it represents the first output voltage V oUT1level.
Then, in step S306, control unit 130 judges the first output voltage V oUT1level whether in desired extent.If the first output voltage V oUT1level in desired extent, represent that reference resistance RADJ is less by the impact of process variation, then now control unit 130 does not adjust reference resistance R aDJresistance, and terminate the operation of self-calibrating.On the contrary, if the first output voltage V oUT1level not in desired extent, then control unit 130 can adjust reference resistance R aDJresistance, to carry out self-calibrating.If therefore the first output voltage V oUT1level not in desired extent, self-calibrating digital-to-analogue conversion method can carry out step S308.
In step S308, control unit 130 judges the first output voltage V further oUT1level whether be greater than a specific desired value.In step S310, if the first output voltage V oUT1level be greater than this desired value, control unit 130 increases reference resistance R aDJresistance, to reach the object of self-calibrating.On the contrary, in step S312, if the level of the first output voltage is less than or equal to this desired value, control unit 130 reduces reference resistance R aDJresistance, the object of self-calibrating can be reached equally.Therefore, when after control unit 130 end step S310 or S312, self-calibrating digital-to-analogue conversion method can get back to step S302 again, to proceed self-calibrating.In other words, by above-mentioned self-calibrating method, control unit 130 is according to the first output voltage V oUT1level whether in desired extent, determine whether adjust reference resistance R aDJresistance, to adjust the first output voltage V oUT1.
It is worth mentioning that, in the loop of voltage transitions current source, as reference resistance R aDJresistance increase time, reference current source I rEFthe reference current provided can reduce, to make the first output voltage V oUT1level can be less than this desired value.On the contrary, as reference resistance R aDJresistance reduce time, reference current source I rEFthe reference current provided can increase, to make the first output voltage V oUT1level can be greater than this desired value.
In other words, in the present embodiment, control unit 130 is at reading output valve S dafterwards, according to output valve S dselect to increase or reduce reference resistance R aDJresistance, with correcting digital analog converter.In addition, the self-calibrating digital-to-analogue conversion method of the present embodiment is the reference resistance R by adjusting digital analog converter 110 aDJresistance reduce processing procedure change impact.In another embodiment, self-calibrating digital-to-analogue conversion method also can select the reference current source I by adjusting digital analog converter 110 rEFwith the mirror ratio of current source array 112, or by adjusting the second reference voltage V that digital analog converter 110 receives rEF2, reach adjustment first output voltage V oUT1object, with reduce processing procedure change impact.
Namely Fig. 4 illustrates the control unit adjustment reference current source of one embodiment of the invention and the method flow diagram of the mirror ratio of current source array.Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 to Fig. 4, in the present embodiment, reference current source I rEFbe such as utilize multiple current mirror to implement with current source array 112, therefore adjust mirror ratio between the two, the electric current that current source array 112 exports can be changed, and then reach adjustment first output voltage V oUT1object.
In the present embodiment, so-called " mirror ratio " such as refers at reference current source I rEFwith master and servant (master/slave) the number of transistors object ratio being used for forming current mirror in current source array 112.Generally speaking, if when the breadth length ratio (width/length ratio) implementing the transistor of current mirror is identical, according to master and servant's number of transistors object ratio, servant side electric current can be estimated by the primary side current of current mirror.For example, in the present embodiment, if reference current source I rEFthe reference current provided is the primary side current of current mirror, and the electric current that current source array 112 exports is servant side electric current, and when master and servant's number of transistors object ratio is 1: 10 between the two, then the electric current that can estimate current source array 112 output is reference current source I rEF10 times of the reference current provided.In other words, as reference current source I rEFwhen the reference current provided is fixed, adjustment mirror ratio between the two, can change the electric current that current source array 112 exports.
In the present embodiment, the self-calibrating digital-to-analogue conversion method of adjustment mirror ratio is similar to the self-calibrating digital-to-analogue conversion method of the adjustment reference resistance resistance of Fig. 3, and only difference between the two is such as step S410 and S412.In step S410, if the first output voltage V oUT1level be greater than this desired value, control unit 130 reduces reference current source I rEFwith the mirror ratio of current source array 112; On the contrary, in step S412, if the level of the first output voltage is less than or equal to this desired value, the mirror ratio both control unit 130 increases.Therefore, by adjustment mirror ratio, self-calibrating digital-to-analogue conversion method can reach the object of self-calibrating equally.
In other words, in the present embodiment, control unit 130 is at the more single output valve S of reading dafterwards, according to output valve S dselect to increase or reduce reference current source I rEFwith the mirror ratio of current source array 112, with correcting digital analog converter 110.In another embodiment, self-calibrating digital-to-analogue conversion method also can be selected by the second reference voltage V of receiving of adjustment digital analog converter 110 rEF2, reach adjustment first output voltage V oUT1object, with reduce processing procedure change impact.
The control unit that namely Fig. 5 illustrates one embodiment of the invention adjusts the method flow diagram of the second reference voltage.Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 to Fig. 5, in the present embodiment, the non-inverting input of operational amplifier OP is coupled to an adjustable second reference voltage V rEF2, and its reverse input end is coupled to reference current source I rEFwith reference resistance R aDJbetween node.Therefore, as the second reference voltage V rEF2during change, also can change simultaneously and flow through reference resistance R aDJelectric current, and then change current source array 112 export electric current, reach adjustment first output voltage V oUT1object.
In the present embodiment, the self-calibrating digital-to-analogue conversion method adjusting the second reference voltage is similar to the self-calibrating digital-to-analogue conversion method of the adjustment reference resistance resistance of Fig. 3, and only difference between the two is such as step S510 and S512.In step S510, if the first output voltage V oUT1level be greater than this desired value, control unit 130 reduces by the second reference voltage V rEF2; On the contrary, in step S512, if the level of the first output voltage is less than or equal to this desired value, control unit 130 increases by the second reference voltage V rEF2.Therefore, by adjusting the second reference voltage, self-calibrating digital-to-analogue conversion method can reach the object of self-calibrating equally.
In other words, in the present embodiment, control unit 130 is at the more single output valve S of reading dafterwards, according to output valve S dselect to increase or reduce by the second reference voltage V rEF2, with correcting digital analog converter 110.
On the other hand, Fig. 6 illustrates the method flow diagram of the test compensating unit adjustment offset current of one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 6, in the present embodiment, test compensating unit 140 inputs a test signal S tESTto digital analog converter 110, to produce one second output voltage V oUT2, as step S600.Wherein, test signal S tESTsuch as a slope (ramp) signal, to carry out linearity test to digital analog converter 110.Then, in step S602, test signal S tESTjudge the second output voltage V of digital analog converter 110 oUT2whether with test signal S tESTcoupling.At this, if test signal S tESTfor acclivity signal, then the second output voltage V oUT2variation tendency must be that dull (monotonic) rises, begin and test signal S tESTcoupling.Similarly, if test signal S tESTfor decline ramp signal, then the second output voltage V oUT2variation tendency must be monotonic decreasing, begin and test signal S tESTcoupling.And then test compensating unit 140 is according to the second output voltage V oUT2with test signal S tESTwhether mate, determine whether adjust offset current I cPSsize.
Therefore, if the second output voltage V oUT2with test signal S tESTcoupling, then now test uncomfortable the reorganizing and bringing up to full strength of compensating unit 140 and repay electric current I cPSsize, and terminate the operation of self-calibrating.If the second output voltage V oUT2with test signal S tESTdo not mate, in step s 604, test compensating unit 140 can judge corresponding second output voltage V oUT2one lose code (missing code) whether be that voltage diminishes.If losing code is that voltage diminishes, in step S606, test compensating unit 140 increases offset current I cPSsize; If lose code not for voltage diminishes, in step S608, test compensating unit 140 reduces offset current I cPSsize.Therefore, when after control unit 130 end step S506 or S608, self-calibrating digital-to-analogue conversion method can get back to step S600 again, to proceed self-calibrating.In other words, the test compensating unit of the present embodiment selects according to its judged result the size increasing or reduce offset current.
Therefore signal processing system 100 also adjusts offset current I by test compensating unit 140 cPSsize, to compensate the first output voltage V oUT1because of the skew that differential nonlinearity error causes.
Fig. 7 illustrates the look-up table of one embodiment of the invention.Please refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 7, in the present embodiment, control unit 130 such as comprises Fig. 7 and illustrates look-up table.Numeral input S is being produced in data value maps mode iNtime, control unit 130 can find out output valve S in a lookup table dcorresponding numeral input S iN, with correcting digital analog converter 110.

In the present embodiment, output valve S dand numeral input S iNbe such as the digital signal of one 10 and one 2 respectively, its figure place is the resolution depending on compensation.For example, be the row of 0% in difference percentage, suppose the first output voltage V tYP=1.40 volts, reference resistance R aDJvery nearly the same with standard resistance, therefore need not adjust.Be R in difference percentage p1% ~ R p2the row of %, its reference resistance R aDJfor just changing (positive resister variation), such as+1% ~+10%, therefore the first output voltage V oUT1v can be reached pA=1.27 volts.On the contrary, be-R in difference percentage n1% ~-R n2the row of %, its reference resistance R aDJfor negative change (negative resister variation), such as-1% ~-10%, therefore the first output voltage V oUT1v can be reached nA=1.55 volts.In above-mentioned three kinds of situations, designer according to actual demand, can select not to reference resistance R aDJadjust, and numeral is inputted S iNbe set as wherein a kind of aspect of 2 position digital signals, such as S iN[0:1]=00, its figure place is the resolution depending on compensation.
On the other hand, be R in difference percentage n3% ~ R n4the row of %, its reference resistance R aDJfor the negative change of-11% ~-17%, now the first output voltage V oUT1excursion V nA~ V nBbetween 1.57 ~ 1.68 volts.Therefore, comparing unit 120 compares the first output voltage V oUT1with the first reference voltage V rEF1, and the output valve S produced dbetween Level nA~ Level nB.It is represented, then output valve S with the digital signal of 10 dbetween 493 ~ 527.Now numeral input S iNwherein a kind of aspect of 2 position digital signals can be set as, such as S iN[0:1]=01.
In addition, be R in difference percentage p (X-1)% ~ R pXthe row of %, its reference resistance R aDJfor the just change of+11% ~+25%, now the first output voltage V oUT1change can reach V pX=1.26 volts.Therefore, output valve S dat Level pXbelow.It is represented, then output valve S with the digital signal of 10 dbe less than 396.Now numeral input S iNwherein a kind of aspect of 2 position digital signals can be set as, such as S iN[0:1]=11.Similarly, be-R in difference percentage n (X-1)% ~-R nXthe row of %, its reference resistance R aDJfor the negative change of-18% ~-25%, its V nX=1.86 volts, Level nX=528, S iN[0:1]=10.
In the present embodiment, designer based on the resolution compensated, can divide reference resistance R aDJcompared to the scope of the difference percentage of standard resistance, to design applicable look-up table.Every numerical value illustrated in above-described embodiment only in order to implementation, and need not limit the present invention.In addition, although the look-up table of Fig. 7 only illustrates reference resistance R aDJexemplary embodiment, but the mirror ratio of reference current source and current source array, the second reference voltage and compensating current element utilize the adjustment of look-up table when can by that analogy, just repeat no more at this.
Therefore, in the present embodiment, by the look-up table of Fig. 7, control unit receives output valve S d, and firmware or software can be utilized accordingly to produce numeral input S in data value maps mode iN, with correcting digital analog converter 110.
