Abstract
An analog-to-digital converter comprising a plurality of sampling cells. At least one of the plurality of sampling cells comprises a capacitive element coupled to a cell output of the at least one of the plurality of sampling cells, wherein a cell output signal is provided at the cell output. The at least one of the plurality of sampling cells further comprises a first cell input for receiving an input signal to be digitized, and a second cell input for receiving a calibration signal. Additionally, the at least one of the plurality of sampling cells comprises a first switch circuit capable of selectively coupling the first cell input to the capacitive element based on a clock signal, and a second switch circuit capable of selectively coupling the second cell input to the capacitive element, wherein a size of the second switch circuit is smaller than a size of the first switch circuit.
