Abstract
Description
図2は、積算部32の回路モデルを示す図である。積算部32は、電流源320、SW1、及び容量C0を備える。
バンドギャップレファレンスなどの集積回路で構成された低電力な基準電圧源から出力される基準電圧は温度変動や時間で変動することが知られている。本ADコンバータ100の変換動作では基準電圧Vrefmは予め記憶しているため、実際の標準基準電圧Vrefsが記憶している基準電圧Vrefmから変動すると実際の入力電圧と変換後の電圧との間に誤差が生じる。実際の標準基準電圧Vrefsでの変換値をVi,s、記憶している基準電圧Vrefmでの変換値をVi,mとすると、変換誤差は次式で表される。
温度補償可能でツェナーダイオード等を利用した高精度基準電圧源は、温度変動に対する基準電圧の変動が小さくドリフトも小さいことが知られている。しかし、ツェナーダイオードのため電圧が大きく、温度補償のためにヒータを使用することから消費電力が大きい。このため、基準電圧源として常時校正に使用することは電池駆動の端末の連続使用時間が短くなり不向きである。
