TIME INTERPOLATION FLASH ADC HAVING AUTOMATIC FEEDBACK CALIBRATION
Abstract:
An input signal is compared to 2N−1 reference voltages to generate 2N−1 corresponding binary valued comparison signals, delaying at least one of the comparison signals by a variable delay and detecting a difference in arrival time between the delayed signal and another comparison signal. A time interpolation signal encoding a plurality of bins within a least significant bit quantization level is generated, based on the detected difference in arrival time. An M-bit output data is generated based on the comparison signals and the time interpolation signal. A non-uniformity of a code density of the M-bit output data is detected, and based on the detecting the delaying is varied.
