    Abstract: A processor is disclosed. The processor includes a first-receiver-node for receiving a first-receiver-signal, a second-receiver-node for receiving a second-receiver-signal, a first-output-node for coupling to a digital-baseband-processor, a second-output-node for coupling to the digital-baseband-processor and a first-active-data-pipe extending between the first-receiver-node and the first-output-node. The first-active-data-pipe includes a first-analogue-to-digital-converter comprising a first-ADC-input coupled to the first-receiver-node and a first-ADC-output coupled to the first-output-node. The first-analogue-to-digital-converter is configured to provide a first-digital-signal to the first-output-node. The processor comprises a first-reference-node and a configurable-data-pipe extending between the second-receiver-node and the second-output-node.

    Abstract: Aspects of the disclosure are directed to compensating for errors in in an analog-to-digital converter circuit (ADC). As may be implemented in accordance with one or more embodiments, an apparatus and/or method involves an ADC that converts an analog signal into a digital signal using an output from a digital-to-analog converter circuit (DAC). A compensation circuit generates a compensation output by, for respective signal portions provided to the DAC, generating a feedback signal based on an incompatibility between the conversion of the signal portions into an analog signal and the value of the signal portions provided to the DAC. A compensation output is generated based on the signal input to the DAC with a gain applied thereto, based on the feedback signal.

    Abstract: A circuit that receives a series a digital signal values from a digital circuit output where the output has a propensity to produce digital values with a metastable error. The circuit produces an analog output signal having values over time corresponding to the digital signal values. The circuit includes two data paths that receive the digital signal values and produce a delayed analog signal. One data path includes an analog delay and the other data path includes a digital delay and a digital to analog converter. The circuit uses the output of the two data paths to adjust a later output analog signal value that is produced by the analog circuit output subsequent to a former output analog signal value produced by the analog circuit output that corresponds to a digital signal value of the series with a metastable error to compensate for the metastable error in the output signal.
