Abstract
An apparatus for analog-to-digital conversion is provided. The apparatus includes a first analog-to-digital converter (ADC) configured to receive an input signal and convert the input signal to a sequence of M-bit digital values. The apparatus further includes a second ADC including a plurality of time-interleaved sub-ADCs each being configured to receive the input signal and at least one M-bit digital value of the sequence of M-bit digital values. Further, each of the plurality of time-interleaved sub-ADCs is configured to convert the input signal to a respective sequence of B-bit digital values using the at least one M-bit digital value of the sequence of M-bit digital values. M and B are integers with M<B.
