Summary: 
This paper describes two digital correction algorithms for ADC nonlinearity, targeted for mixed-signal LSI tester applications: an interpolation algorithm and a stochastic algorithm. Numerical simulations show that our algorithms compensate for ADC nonlinearity as well as missing codes and nonmonotonicity characteristics, and improve ADC SNDR and SFDR.
