Abstract
The proposed digital background calibration scheme, applicable to multistage (pipelined or algorithmic/cyclic) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), corrects the linearity errors resulting from capacitor mismatches and finite opamp gain. A high-accuracy calibration is achieved by recalculating the digital output based on each stage's equivalent radix. The equivalent radices are extracted in the background by using a digital correlation method....
