Abstract :
A digital-domain self-calibration technique for video-rate pipeline A/D converters based on a Gaussian white noise input signal is presented. The proposed algorithm is simple and efficient. A design example is shown to illustrate that the overall linearity of a pipeline ADC can be highly improved using this technique
