Described is a 14 bit 50 MS/s CMOS four-stage pipeline A/D converter (ADC)-based on a digital code-error calibration. The proposed calibration technique measures the capacitor mismatch errors of the front-end multiplying DAC (MDAC) with the back-end pipeline stages while the measured code errors are stored in memory and corrected in the digital domain during normal conversion.
