Abstract
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) ( ) having a nonlinear transfer function with a unique mapping. The ADC ( ) is adapted to produce a digital output signal for a plurality of analog input signals, and a transfer function modifying circuit ( ) is coupled to the ADC circuit ( ). The transfer function modifying circuit ( ) is adapted to modify the ADC circuit ( ) transfer function ( ) to have a unique mapping. The ADC ( ) transfer function has multiple transfer function segments with varying slopes. Further disclosed is a method for designing an ADC ( ) having a nonlinear transfer function, and a method for calibrating an ADC ( ).
