Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Aspects of a method and system for data converters having a transfer function with multiple operating zones. In some embodiments, an operating zone of the multiple operating zones is characterized by more stringent performance criteria than the other operating zones. Thus, such data converters may receive an input signal and generate an output signal from the input signal per the transfer function and the more stringent performance criteria in the appropriate operating zone.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A method, comprising: receiving an input signal with a data converter; and generating, with the data converter, an output signal from the input signal per a transfer function, wherein the transfer function comprises a plurality of operating zones, and wherein a first operating zone of the plurality of operating zones is characterized by more stringent performance criteria than other operating zones of the plurality of operating zones.…
