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.
