A digital calibration method is presented to reduce SAR ADC offset mismatch. By reusing charge injection (CI) cells, the offset in the sense amplifier (SA) is reduced to less than 1 LSB. In addition, four auxiliary CI cells are incorporated in the digital‐to‐analogue converter to further reduce the SA offset below 1/2 LSB. Measurement results from a 180 nm CMOS test chip validate the effectiveness of the proposed method. The offset is reduced to 0.5 mV measured at a common‐mode voltage of 1.5 V with a 1.8 V power supply.
