Abstract

The invention is a system for reducing offset in an analog to digital conversion system. A signal representing the system offset is stored in digital form. A digital to analog converter generates an analog feedback signal in response to the stored digital signal. The output of the system analog to digital converter is periodically sampled to update the stored digital word representing system offset.
