ABSTRACT:
An analog-to-digital converter compensating apparatus and associated methods are provided. The apparatus can include an ADC, a state-slope sampler responsive to output data of the ADC to produce a state sample and a slope sample, a compensator which can include memory having an error-table associated therewith to provide an error or compensation sample to a combiner which combines the compensation sample with the state value to provide a compensated ADC output, and a compensator error processor positioned to receive the state sample, the slope sample, and an updated error value to dynamically update the compensator and thereby dynamically update the compensated ADC output.
