  • Circuit for and method of receiving data in an integrated circuit
    Patent number: 10826517
    Abstract: An integrated circuit is described. The integrated circuit comprises an analog-to-digital converter circuit configured to receive an input signal at an input and generate an output signal at an output; and a monitor circuit coupled to the output of the analog-to-digital converter circuit, the monitor circuit configured to receive the output signal and to generate integration coefficients for the analog-to-digital converter circuit; wherein the integration coefficients are dynamically generated based upon signal characteristics of the output signal generated by the analog-to-digital converter circuit. A method of receiving data in an integrated circuit is also described.
