Abstract

An offset calibration system includes an analog to digital converter having a first full-scale range with a first offset compensation circuit; a digital to analog converter having a second full-scale range with a second offset compensation circuit; the digital to analog converter having its output connected to the input of the analog to digital converter during calibration of the digital to analog converter; and a range adjustment circuit for accumulating a predetermined number of analog to digital output values and dividing the accumulated values by a preselected power of 2 in the ratio of the voltage corresponding to the analog to digital converter least significant bit to the voltage corresponding to the digital to analog converter least significant bit.
