    Abstract: DC offset correction is provided with low frequency support. A first input terminal for receiving an input signal is selectively coupled to a resistance and a capacitor that are series coupled between the first input terminal and a corresponding output terminal. In a calibration phase, the series resistance is coupled between the input terminal and the capacitor and an average voltage level of the input is stored on capacitor. In a signal processing phase, the charged capacitor is coupled in series between the input terminal and the output terminal while the resistance is bypassed. The output signal obtained contains the high and low frequency components of the input signal, while the DC offset in the input signal is removed from the output signal. A differential circuit and methods are disclosed. Additional embodiments are disclosed.

    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: An analog-to-digital converter includes a voltage-to-delay device, such as a pre-amplifier array, for generating a delay signal based on a first voltage, and delay-based stages for generating digital signals based on the delay signal. In operation, the delay signal is transmitted to a first delay-based stage, or to an intermediate delay-based stage, bypassing the first delay-based stage, to overcome non-linearity of previous stages. If desired, different pre-amplifiers may be used to generate signals for calibration of different delay-based stages. The present disclosure may also involve converting to pseudo-static signals before signals are handed over to a calibration engine, to ease timing and preserve interface area and power. If desired, simple delay elements may be used to correct for non-linearity in a delay-based analog-to-digital converter. The present disclosure may be employed, if desired, in connection with any suitable cascade of non-linear stages.
