  • Patent number: 11973511
    Abstract: An analog-to-digital converting device includes N-stage first analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), a second ADC, a first calibration circuit, a data recovery circuit and an output circuit. The N-stage first ADCs has a first sampling frequency that is (N+1)/N times of a second sampling frequency, and converts an input signal into first quantized outputs. The second ADC has the second sampling frequency, and converts the input signal into a second quantized output. The first calibration circuit calibrates offsets of the first quantized outputs and the second quantized output to generate third quantized outputs and a fourth quantized output. The data recovery circuit outputs, by the second sampling frequency, one of the third quantized outputs as a fifth quantized output, and subtracts the fifth quantized output from the fourth quantized output to generate output data. The output circuit generates an output signal according to the third quantized outputs and the output data.
