Efficient time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter
Abstract:
A time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter for conversion of an analog input signal to a digital output signal having a sample rate R comprises an array of N constituent analog-to-digital converters that operate based on an analog-to-digital converter operation clock to provide the digital output signal, N sample-and-hold units connected to the input of a respective constituent analog-to-digital converter that operate based on a respective one of M of timing signals, wherein no timing signal is used to clock two or more of the sample-and-hold units, one or more digital output processing units that provide a sample of the digital output of a constituent analog-to-digital converter as a sample of the digital output signal based on the respective one of the M timing signals, and a timing circuit that generates the analog-to-digital converter operation clock signal, each timing signal having a period of M/R, wherein M is less or equal to N.
