Abstract

Offset voltage and drift characteristics of operational amplifier are critical factor to precision AID conversion System. In this study, a method is suggested to design the programmable A/D conversion system which has high resolution and low drift characteristics. First, hardware was designed to reduce the offset voltage of integrator and comparator, and analog switches are connected to reduce the drift characteristics of operational amplifier. And then, a calibration software technique was performed to obtain the stable data from A/D converter. The main advantage of our method is high precision A/D converter can be constructed with low cost and high confidence. Therefore proposed method is expected to be used in the industrial field where a high precision measurement is required.
