A digital correction circuit for a pipelined analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is disclosed. Compared to the conventional digital correction circuit which uses adders to perform operations in ADC digital correction part and hence needs a rather long operation time, the digital correction circuit of this invention can reduce the time needed in operations in the finial digital correction circuits and thus can optimize operation time, by allocating the operations to a plurality of pipeline stages of second sub-circuits configured to synchronize digital codes, each of which can perform part of the operations only with NAND gates, NOR gates, phase inverters and D-type flip-flops, without needing to use adders.
