Multi-dimensional compensator

A multi-dimensional compensator comprising:

• a demultiplexer processing an input signal into N parallel demultiplexed signals each at 1/Nth a data rate of the input signal, wherein N is an integer equal to or greater than two;
• a first analog-to-digital converter (ADC) processing each one of the N parallel demultiplexed signals into a most significant bit (MSB) signal;
• a second ADC processing each one of the N parallel demultiplexed signals into a least significant bit (LSB) signal;
• for each MSB signal, a sub-ranged multi-dimensional compensator processing the respective MSB signal into a first output signal;
• for each LSB signal, a sub-ranged multi-dimensional compensator processing the respective LSB signal into a second output signal;
• for each first output signal and second output signal, a MSB/LSB combiner combining the respective first output signal and respective second output signal into a third output signal;
• and
• a multiplexer processing the respective third output signal into a compensator output signal.

A multi-dimensional compensator comprising:

• a correction calculator having a plurality of multi-dimensional inputs and an output, wherein one of the multi-dimensional inputs is coupled to an input signal, the correction calculator further comprising correction parameters;
• and
• a first circuit applying a first function to the input signal to create a first function signal, wherein the first function signal is coupled to a second one of the multi-dimensional inputs of the correction calculator;
• wherein the output of the correction calculator produces a correction signal compensating for distortion introduced by an electronic component;
• and
• wherein the input signal comprises a most significant bit (MSB) signal or a least significant bit (LSB) signal.
