Abstract
A tracking ADC with adaptive slew rate boosting can dynamically adjust one or more of its operational parameters in response to detecting a slew rate limit condition. In some embodiments, slew rate boosting can include increasing the value of a digital error signal in response to detection of a slew rate limit condition. In other embodiments, slew rate boosting can include increasing a clock frequency of the tracking ADC in response to detection of a slew rate limit condition.
