Abstract

This chapter discusses some of the DAC correction methods that use exact error information acquired from measurements. The discussion concerns the correction only. The measurement and error processing are beyond the scope of this chapter. Three principle correction methods are discussed: self-calibration in Sect. 4.2, mapping in Sect. 4.3 and digital pre-distortion in Sect. 4.4. These methods are characterized by the way they utilize DAC intrinsic and extrinsic redundancies. These characteristics are further used in Chap. 7 to propose a general classification of the DAC correction methods.
