Abstract

An analog input signal is sampled, and the sampled analog input signal is converted to a digital value. A calibration value is also sampled, and a single bit of an N bit offset value is calculated from the sampled calibration value. The sampling operations are alternatively performed so that one bit of the offset value is generated for each generated digital value. For example, the process is repeated N times to calculate all N bits of the offset value while generating N digital values.
