    Abstract: A method of using an analog-to-digital converter system includes receiving a sampled voltage corresponding to one of an input voltage and a known voltage, causing preamplifiers to generate output signals based on the sampled voltage, generating first and second signals based on the output signals, causing a delay-resolving delay-to-digital backend to generate a single-bit digital signal representing an order of receipt of the first and second signals, and adjusting one or more of the preamplifiers based on the digital signal. The disclosure also relates to a system which includes a voltage-to-delay frontend and a delay-resolving backend, and to a method which includes causing a delay comparator to generate a single-bit digital signal representing an order of receipt of input signals, causing the comparator to transmit a residue delay signal to a succeeding comparator, and transmitting a signal to adjust one or more of the preamplifiers based on the digital signal.

    Abstract: The disclosure provides a current steering digital to analog converter (DAC) that includes a plurality of DAC elements. At least one DAC element of the plurality of DAC elements is coupled to a calibration circuit. The calibration circuit includes a fixed current source coupled to a primary node of the DAC element through a first estimation switch. A digital code generator is coupled to the primary node, and generates a first digital code corresponding to a primary voltage generated at the primary node. The digital code generator generates a second digital code. A correction DAC is coupled to the digital code generator and generates a bias voltage based on the second digital code. The bias voltage is provided to the DAC element such that a current flowing through each DAC element of the plurality of DAC elements is equal.

    Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter including a first stage and a second stage. The first stage includes a first sample-and-hold (SH) having an input coupled to a voltage input node of the ADC, and having a first SH output. The first stage also includes a buffer, a first flash converter and a first digital-to-analog converter (DAC). The buffer has an input coupled to the first SH output and has a buffer output. The first flash converter has an input coupled to the first SH output, and has a first flash converter output. The first DAC has an input coupled to the first flash converter output. The second stage includes a second flash converter having an input coupled to the buffer output.

    Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes: a time-domain ADC core; and a calibration circuit. The time-domain ADC core includes: a first delay-to-digital stage having a terminal; a second delay-to-digital stage having a terminal; a third delay-to-digital stage having a terminal. The calibration circuitry is coupled to the terminal of the first delay-to-digital stage, the terminal of the second delay-to-digital stage, and the terminal of the third delay-to-digital stage of stages. The calibration circuitry is configured to calibrate the first delay-to-digital stage, the second delay-to-digital stage, and the third delay-to-digital stage based on a zero-crossing calibration and an over-range calibration. The over-range calibration sets a maximum threshold and a minimum threshold for the time-domain ADC relative to a reference voltage.
