Abstract
A sigma delta analog-to-digital converter includes a sigma delta modulator including a segmented digital-to-analog converter (DAC), the segmented DAC including a coarse DAC and a fine DAC, wherein the sigma delta modulator is configured to generate a coarse quantized signal and a fine quantized signal; recombination logic configured to combine the coarse quantized signal and the fine quantized signal; and a calibration circuit, operable in a calibration mode, to calibrate the recombination logic to compensate for mismatch between the coarse DAC and the fine DAC of the segmented DAC.
