Digital calibration techniques are widely utilized to linearize pipelined analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). However, their power dissipation can be prohibitively high, particularly when high-order gain calibration is ...

A digital background calibration technique is proposed to correct for the linearity error due to capacitor mismatches in pipelined analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). During the normal ADC operation, it randomly swaps the ...
