Abstract:
The disclosure provides an analog to digital converter (ADC). The ADC includes a flash ADC. The flash ADC generates a flash output in response to an input signal, and an error correction block generates a known pattern. A selector block is coupled to the flash ADC and the error correction block, and generates a plurality of selected signals in response to the flash output and the known pattern. A digital to analog converter (DAC) is coupled to the selector block, and generates a coarse analog signal in response to the plurality of selected signals. A residue amplifier is coupled to the DAC, and generates a residual analog signal in response to the coarse analog signal, the input signal and an analog PRBS (pseudo random binary sequence) signal. A residual ADC generates a residual code in response to the residual analog signal.

Claim (Index 15):
The ADC of  claim 7 , wherein the error correction block is configured to provide the known pattern to a primary DAC element of the plurality of primary DAC elements, and the flash ADC is configured to provide the predefined set of bits to the remaining primary DAC elements, and the error correction block is configured to measure a sub-averaged code generated by the ADC, the sub-averaged code is average of the residual code generated when consecutive bits in the known pattern undergo a state transition over T cycles.
