Abstract

An analog front-end (AFE) circuit may include a correlated double sampler (CDS) with a ping-pong architecture, and a ping-pong mismatch correction circuit. The CDS employs a ping data path during ping phases, and employs a pong data path during pong phases. The ping-pong mismatch correction circuit is arranged to correct a mismatch between a gain that is associated with the ping data path and a gain that is associated with the pong data path. Further, the ping-pong mismatch correction circuit is arranged to correct a mismatch between an offset that is associated with the ping data path and an offset that is associated with the pong data path.
