Dear all, if we tune the bit weight of a SAR ADC, would it only affect the error power contributed by the capacitor mismatch? In other words, I guess it won't change the error power contributed by the circuit noise. However, I have not found materials discussing this directly. Any suggestions to this matter would be highly appreciated, thanks!
 

Changing the bit weights (e.g. by parasitic C) will lead to increased INL and DNL.
Thank you for your reply. More specifically, when using LMS-based calibration methods, does the circuit noise affect the calibration results? Since the loop only aims to minimize the output mean-square-error, it may not tell whether or not this error comes from the circuit noise or the mismatch.
