Abstract :
A method is described to eliminate the effects of differential nonlinearities of analog-to-digital converters. First a theoretical treatment is given in which the statistical nature of the nonlinearities is taken into account and the effect of the method is analyzed on a Gaussian and a uniform distribution. Second the theoretical results are shown to be consistant with experiment. Finally a hardware solution is proposed to implement the method.
