One important aspect of their implementation is the placement of reference levels in the converter. The levels need to be appropriately located within the input dynamic range in order to obtain samples efficiently. In this paper we study optimization of the performance of such an LC ADC by providing several sequential algorithms that adaptively update the ADC reference levels. The accompanying performance analysis and simulation results show that as the signal length grows the performance of the sequential algorithms asymptotically approaches that of the best choice that could only have been chosen in hindsight within a family of possible schemes.

INTRODUCTION Level-crossing LC sampling has been proposed as an alternative to the traditional uniform sampling method 110 . In this approach signals are compared with a set of reference levels and samples taken on the time axis indicating the times .
