Download Versions Notes

The authors wish to correct the following errors in the original paper [1].

Text Correction

There was an error in the original publication (the wrong use of uniquely).

The following correction has been made to Section 1. Introduction, Paragraph 4:

The proposed ADC generates the reference slope without requiring external components, taking advantage of the output resistance of a digital output buffer and its parasitic capacitance.

Missing Citation

In the original publication, Reference [20] was not cited. The citation has now been inserted. With this correction, the order of some references has been adjusted accordingly.

In Section 1. Introduction, Paragraph 3

The 600 MS/s 7-bit ENOB ADC without any external components is implemented in the ZYNQ Ultrascale+ [20]. This paper uses the output buffer (OBUF) and differential input buffer (DIFFINBUF) to replace the capacitor, resistor and analog comparator. One input of DIFFINBUF is connected to OBUF and the other is connected to the analog input. A digital output is generated when the amplitude of the analog input voltage exceeds the slope voltage. However, in order to maintain the precision and stability, the non-linear relationship between the amplitude of the analog input signal and time needs to be calibrated regularly.

In Section 2. System Architecture, Paragraph 9

This work uses a special form to represent the edge detector and bubble filtering based on Reference [20], instead of a generalized form.

In Section 4. Results, Paragraph 10

The work of [20] achieved a 600 MS/s sample rate at 7-bit ENOB for a 1 MHz analog signal input.

In the Acknowledgments

We thank Lucas Leuenberger, author of [20], whose help is invaluable in improving our thinking and work to a higher level.

In the Reference Section, a new reference of [20] was added:

Error in Figure/Table

In the original publication, there was a mistake in Table 4. Reference [20] is not used as a comparison. The corrected Table 4 appears below.

The authors state that the scientific conclusions are unaffected. This correction was approved by the Academic Editor. The original publication has also been updated.
