The present disclosure relates to the field of semiconductor integrated circuits, and to a method for calibrating a capacitor voltage coefficient of a high-precision successive approximation analog-to-digital converter (SAR ADC). The method includes: calibrating a voltage coefficient; obtaining a sampled charged charge according to a capacitance model with the voltage coefficient; according to an INL value obtained by testing, first verifying whether a maximum value of INL occurs in the place shown in Equation 3, then obtaining two very close second-order capacitor voltage coefficients according to Equation 4, and taking an average value thereof as a second-order capacitor voltage coefficient; and then calibrating the second-order capacitor voltage coefficient in a digital domain. In the present disclosure, a capacitor voltage coefficient can be extracted based on INL and the capacitor voltage coefficient is calibrated at a digital backend without adding an analog calibration circuit, thereby improving conversion accuracy of the ADC.
