Abstract
An ADC circuit has a plurality of distributed ADC paths each receiving a common analog input signal and providing a digital output signal. Each distributed ADC path has an ADC converting the common analog input signal to a digital signal, and a DPU coupled to an output of the ADC. A first DPU receives a first digital signal from a first ADC and a second digital signal from a second DPU and selects a mixture of the first digital signal and second digital signal as the digital output signal based on a proximity of the first digital signal to a first threshold and a second threshold. The first DPU selects the second digital signal when the first digital signal is less than the first threshold and selects the first digital signal when the first digital signal is greater than the second threshold.
