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 5):
The error correcting ADC of  claim 1 , wherein the gain error estimation circuit is configured to:\n receive a first residue signal of the first ADC segment from the digital correction circuit; store the first residue signal of the first ADC segment in the first delay element; receive a second residue signal of the first ADC segment from the digital correction circuit; subtract the first residue signal from the second residue signal to form a residue difference signal; and correlate the residue difference signal with a pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) previously added to the second residue signal by the first ADC segment.
