Abstract

The present invention relates to analog-to-digital converters. An analog-to-digital converter that samples an analog input signal at a sampling frequency and converts the analog input signal into a digital output signal, comprising: N analog-to-digital converter (ADC) channels that convert the analog input signal into a digital output signal by time interleaving ; The channel digital signals respectively output by the ADC channel are synthesized to generate a channel synthesizer of a digital output signal; an adaptive filter provided at at least one output of the ADC channel; and generating the adaptive filter according to the digital output signal The correction circuit of the coefficient. The correction circuit calculates a DC component of the image signal component from an analog input signal component and an image signal component corresponding to the error, and calculates a coefficient based on the DC component to suppress the DC component, both of which are included in the digital output signal.

Description

technical field [0001] Embodiments discussed herein relate to ADCs and their correction circuits. Background technique [0002] An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a circuit that converts an analog input signal into a digital output signal. In order to increase the sampling frequency, a time-interleaved ADC in which a plurality of ADCs (ADC channels) are provided and sequentially converts an analog input signal into a digital output signal by time-division has been proposed. Time-interleaved ADCs are capable of high-speed operation, but if the characteristics of each ADC are different and / or there is a deviation in the relationship between the timings at which the ADCs operate, the S / N ratio may drop. [0003] Foreground calibration and background calibration have been proposed as methods for correcting errors between ADC channels. The former requires time outside the normal ADC runtime for correction. The latter, on the other hand, performs corrections during normal ...
