Abstract

A system includes an interleaved analog-to-digital converter (ADC) comprising a plurality of sub-ADCs, where each of the plurality of sub-ADCs has an adjustable timing. The system includes a data analyzer that analyzes an output of the interleaved ADC, that estimates timing mismatches of the plurality of sub-ADCs, and that corrects the timing mismatches by adjusting the adjustable timing of one or more of the plurality of sub-ADCs based on the estimated timing mismatches.
