ABSTRACT:
An A/D converter stage including an A/D sub-converter connected to a D/A sub-converter (12) is calibrated by a method that inserts a calibration test sequence into the D/A sub-converter. This is accomplished by forcing (SW) the comparators (COMP1-COMP7) of the A/D sub-converter to generate and insert the sequence into the D/A sub-converter.
