    Abstract: In an example, a system includes an input channel and a voltage to delay converter (V2D) coupled to the input channel. The system also includes a first multiplexer coupled to the V2D and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) coupled to the first multiplexer. The system includes a second multiplexer coupled to the input channel and an auxiliary ADC coupled to the second multiplexer. The system includes calibration circuitry coupled to an output of the auxiliary ADC, where the calibration circuitry is configured to correct a non-linearity in a signal provided by the input channel. The calibration circuitry is also configured to determine the non-linearity of the signal provided to the ADC relative to the signal provided to the auxiliary ADC.

    Abstract: In described examples, an analog to digital converter (ADC), having an input operable to receive an analog signal and an output operable to output a digital representation of the analog signal, includes a voltage to delay (VD) block. The VD block is coupled to the input of the ADC and generates a delay signal responsive to a calibration signal. A backend ADC is coupled to the VD block, and receives the delay signal. The backend ADC having multiple stages including a first stage. A calibration engine is coupled to the multiple stages and the VD block. The calibration engine measures an error count of the first stage and stores a delay value of the first stage for which the error count is minimum.
