Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for enhanced analog-to-digital conversions, particularly by allowing for an ultra-low burst error rate. Analog-to-digital conversion may be applied to an analog input via one or more conversion cycles; and performance related parameter corresponding to the analog-to-digital conversion may be assessed. A digital output corresponding to the analog input may be generated, with the generating being controlled based on the assessing of the performance related parameter. The controlling may include adjusting at least a portion of the digital output. The assessing may include determining, for at least one conversion cycle, whether a performance related condition, corresponding to the performance related parameter, occurs. The determination may be based on an outcome of a matching search performed for that conversion cycle. The determination that the performance related condition occurs may be made when the matching search fails to settle within a corresponding time period.
