An analog input stage has m differential input channels, wherein m>l. The analog input stage is configured to select one of the m differential input channels and provide an output signal. The analog input stage has n identical selection units each having m differential channel inputs and one differential output, wherein n is at least 2111"1. Each selection unit is operable to be coupled to any of the differential input channels through respective differential multiplexer units, wherein the multiplexor units are driven to select one of the differential input channels and couple the selected differential channel input through a butterfly switch unit with the differential output of the selection unit. The differential output signals of the n selection units are combined whereby unwanted crosstalk from channels other than a selected channel are removed by cancellation.

A time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (ADC) uses M sub-analog-to-digital converters (sub-ADCs) to, according to a sequence, sample an analog input signal to produce digital outputs. When the M sub-ADCs are interleaved, the digital outputs exhibit mismatch errors between the M sub-ADCs due to mismatches between the sub-ADCs. A more second order subtle effect is that the mismatch error for a particular digital output from a particular ADC, due to internal coupling or other such interaction and effects between the M sub-ADCs, can vary depending on which sub-ADC(s) were used before and/or after the particular sub-ADC. If M sub-ADCs are time-interleaved randomly, the mismatches between the M sub-ADCs become a function of the sub-ADC selection pattern in the sequence. The present disclosure describes mechanisms for measuring and reducing these order-dependent mismatches to achieve high dynamic range performance in the time-interleaved ADC.

A calibration system for calibrating a linearity corrector using the sum of filter products is proved, along with a method of calibrating the linearity corrector. The calibration system includes a first and second signal generator for introducing test signals into a signal processing system, such as an ADC. An acquisition memory and processor are provided for acquiring and analyzing the output of the signal processing system and then programming the filter coefficients into the linearity corrector. The method of calibration analyzes acquired intermodulation and harmonic components from the signal processing sytem and then finds the amplitude and phase response for the filters. The amplitude and phase response is then used to determine a set of filter coefficients.
