Abstract

Aspects of the description provide for an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) operable to convert an analog input signal to an output signal at an output of the ADC. In some examples, the ADC includes multiple sub-ADCs coupled in parallel, each of the multiple sub-ADCs coupled to the output of the ADC and operable to receive the analog input signal. The ADC is configured to operate the sub-ADCs in a consecutive operation loop including a transition phase in which the ADC operates each of the sub-ADCs sequentially for a first number of sequences, an estimation phase in which the ADC operates each of the sub-ADCs sequentially for a second number of sequences following the first number of sequences, and a randomization phase in which the ADC operates subsets of the sub-ADCs for a third number of sequences following the second number of sequences.
