Abstract:
Disclosed is a bit error rate (BER) forecast circuit for successive approximation register analog-to-digital conversion. The BER forecast circuit includes an N bits successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter (N bits SAR ADC) and an estimation circuit. The N bits SAR ADC is configured to carry out a regular operation at least N times and an additional operation at least X time(s) in one cycle of conversion time, in which the N is an integer greater than 1 and the X is an integer not less than zero. The estimation circuit is configured to generate a test value according to total times the N bits SAR ADC carrying out the additional operation in Y cycles of the conversion time, in which the Y is a positive integer and the test value is related to the bit error rate of the N bits SAR ADC.

Claim (Index 9):
The BER forecast circuit for successive approximation register analog-to-digital conversion of  claim 1 , wherein the estimation circuit estimates the bit error rate of the N bits SAR ADC according to the test value and at least one reference value, in which the at least one reference value is related to at least one predetermined bit error rate.
