- Abstract
This paper presents a novel digital background calibration technique for timing mismatches in time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TIADCs). We reconstruct and eliminate the timing mismatch based on the theory of timing-mismatch-induced spurious signals in the frequency domain. The proposed compensation algorithm utilizes the conjugate property between spurious signals to achieve low complexity. A coarse-fine correction architecture is adopted to eliminate higher-order time-skew errors. A novel feedforward estimation algorithm based on the correlation of adjacent channels is proposed to extract the time-skew errors. Our proposed calibration technique is suitable for an arbitrary number of channels. The simulation results demonstrate that the utilization of the proposed calibration technique yields significant improvements in both the signal-to-noise-and-distortion ratio (SNDR) and spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR). The SNDR and SFDR are improved from 55.82 dB and 56.64 dB to 79.92 dB and 105.98 dB, respectively.
