Abstract:
A pipeline ADC comprising an ADC segment and a digital backend coupled to the ADC segment. In some examples the ADC is configured to receive an analog signal, generate a first partial digital code representing a first sample of the analog signal, and generate a second partial digital code representing a second sample of the analog signal. In some examples the digital backend is configured to receive the first and second partial digital codes from the ADC segment, generate a combined digital code based at least partially on the first and second partial digital codes, determine a gain error of the ADC segment based at least partially on a first correlation of a PRBS with a difference between the first and second partial digital codes, and apply a first correction to the combined digital code based at least partially on the gain error of the ADC segment.

Claim (Index 1):
An error correcting analog-to-digital converter (ADC), comprising:\n a first ADC segment; a second ADC segment coupled to the first ADC segment; and a digital backend coupled to the first ADC segment and the second ADC segment and comprising:\n a digital correction circuit coupled to the first ADC segment and the second ADC segment; \n an error estimation circuit coupled to the digital correction circuit and comprising:\n a gain error estimation circuit; and \n a memory error estimation circuit comprising:
