Abstract
A cyclic type D/A converter having an error detection and correction system including: a code conversion circuit for converting a binary code to a multi-states code; a digital-to-analog conversion circuit connected to the code conversion circuit for converting the multi-states code to an analog value; a detection circuit operatively connected to the digital-to-analog conversion circuit for converting the analog value to a digital code; and a control circuit operatively connected to the code conversion circuit, digital-to-analog conversion circuit and detection circuit for calculating a voltage difference between the analog value at a predetermined code value and another analog value adjacent to the predetermined code value, and for calculating a differential non-linearity error from the voltage difference based on the digital code, in order to obtain error and correction values of capacitors forming the digital-to-analog conversion circuit.
