Technical Examples

An apparatus uses a "self-organizing" method to eliminate or at least partially compensate for undesired or unexpected threshold errors encountered in analog-to-digital conversions. The self-organizing feature results in a relatively good, such as an optimal, spacing of a plurality of comparator thresholds even in the presence of relatively large comparator offsets, reference offsets, or other system offsets. Advantageously, the self-organizing techniques can be used without a special starting point for the thresholds. The self-organizing techniques can be used applied to at least portions of any analog-to-digital converter ADC that uses comparators, such as flash ADCs, pipeline ADCs, and sub-ranging ADCs.
