Pipeline ADC Digital Correction Algorithm

    Dear all:



    I'm designing a 12bit piepline adc (very conventional one). it's based
    on 1.5bit/stage + 3bit (last stage). In some papers and products
    specs, there are more than enough stages over all, say: 12 1.5bit
    stages and one 3bit stages. I'm just wondering what algorithm in this
    case, after RSD digital correction, there will be 15bit resolution and
    discard last 3 stages?! What's benefit behind this "luxurious"
    correction?

    Appreciate your help.
