A direction correction-based technique for timing mismatch in
time-interleaved ADCs
Abstract
An all-digital calibration technique for time-interleaved ADC(TIADC)
timing mismatch is proposed in this paper. The calibration technique is
based on a direction correction-based technique for TIADCs. The proposed
method uses Least Mean Squares (LMS) Iteration to gradually estimate and
the compensation algorithmfocuses on third-order Tayler series
expansion. Different from conventional calibration architecture, the
proposed method introduces a corrective technique addressing calibration
direction, which may be wrong when the frequency of the input signal
does not satisfy the Nyquist sampling theorem of the sub-ADC. The
bandwidth of the input signal stands to be broadened when integrated
with the proposed calibration algorithm.
