Low-spurious analog-to-digital conversion using multi-stage code-error calibration

This thesis presents a 5-5-5-6b pipelined ADC architecture that alleviates the requirements for initial capacitor matching and residue amplifier settling accuracy. The two 5-bit MSB stages are digitally calibrated to implement a 15-bit, 5 Msample/s low-spurious ADC using 1.4...
