Abstract: Methods and Systems for calibrating a Single Ramp Multiple Slope Analog to Digital Converter (SRMS ADC), the ADC including a counter and a plurality N of charge and discharge elements of different time constant i.e. slope, wherein the relationships between slopes is defined as a function of the shallowest slope SN such that S1=K1·SN, S2=K2·SN, . . . SN-1=KN-1·SN-1 where the K values are integers, and the code count for conversion is C=K1·C1+K2·C2+ . . . KN-1·CN-1+CN where each Ci represents an observed counts per each slope for a conversion, including; sampling for a first calibration pass a voltage with the ADC, discharging the voltage on the steepest slope for a number of counter counts C11, charging and discharging on the remaining slopes up to K2 to KN-1 for a number of counts per slope, Ci1 e.g.
