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 21):
The method of  claim 20  further comprising:\n providing the known pattern to a primary DAC element of the plurality of primary DAC elements; \n providing a predefined set of bits to the remaining primary DAC elements; \n measuring the averaged code generated by the ADC; and \n measuring the coarse gain error from the averaged code generated by the ADC, a step size of the DAC and a reference averaged code.
