Abstract
A method for enhancing resolution of digital signals converted from analog signals is provided. An analog input signal is converted into N-bit digital outputs, where N is a positive integer. The N-bit digital outputs are interpolated to add one or more least significant bit orders for the N-bit digital outputs. One or more dither values are generated as least significant bits corresponding to the least significant bit orders and the dither values are superimposed on the interpolation of the N-bit digital outputs. An A/D converter is also provided herein.
