Abstract
An analog to digital conversion (A/D) system produces a corrected output of an analog to digital (A/D) converter using at least one past signal sample. For example, the A/D system estimates a reference value or point, such as a reference amplitude, for the at least one past sample. In response to an indication that the A/D converter is saturated, the A/D system uses the reference value to predict a next reference value, such as a next amplitude value, from which a corrected digital sample value is produced to replace the saturating sample.
