Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An analog-to-digital converter includes an upper bit conversion unit suitable for receiving an input signal, and sampling upper bits from the input signal, a lower bit conversion unit suitable for receiving a residual voltage remaining after the sampling of the upper bit conversion unit, and sampling lower bits from the residual voltage, and an error correction unit suitable for correcting an error of the sampled upper bits and the sampled lower bits.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).
