    Abstract: An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes: a set of comparators configured to provide comparison results based on an analog signal and respective reference thresholds for comparators of the set of comparators; digitization circuitry configured to provide a digital output code based on the comparison results and a mapping; and calibration circuitry. The calibration circuitry is configured to: receive the comparison results; determine if the analog signal is proximate to one of the respective reference thresholds based on the comparison results; in response to determining the analog signal is proximate to one of the respective reference thresholds, receive ADC values based on different pseudorandom binary sequence (PRBS) values being applied to the analog signal; determine an offset error based on the ADC values; and provide a comparator input offset calibration signal at a calibration circuitry output if the estimated offset error is greater than an offset error threshold.

    Abstract: A pipeline ADC comprising an ADC segment and a digital backend coupled to the ADC segment. In some examples the ADC is configured to receive an analog signal, generate a first partial digital code representing a first sample of the analog signal, and generate a second partial digital code representing a second sample of the analog signal. In some examples the digital backend is configured to receive the first and second partial digital codes from the ADC segment, generate a combined digital code based at least partially on the first and second partial digital codes, determine a gain error of the ADC segment based at least partially on a first correlation of a PRBS with a difference between the first and second partial digital codes, and apply a first correction to the combined digital code based at least partially on the gain error of the ADC segment.

    Abstract: A system includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) including an ADC input terminal; an ADC output terminal; and analog components configured to convert an analog signal received at the ADC input terminal to a digital signal. The system also includes a histogram estimation circuit coupled to the ADC output terminal and configured to generate information on a plurality of codes generated by the ADC and determine a region defining a range of codes corresponding to an occurrence of an error caused by the analog components of the ADC. The system also includes a dither circuit coupled to the ADC input terminal and configured to introduce a dither in the analog signal to generate a modified analog signal.
