Abstract:
High speed time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (TIADCs) suffer from gain, offset and timing errors wich reduce their effective resolution. By a posterior digital error correction this errors can be corrected. To achieve this, known error models are applied to the converters. Error estimation and error correction approaches are derived from these models. A realization of a digital real-time posterior error estimation and error correction is implemented in VHDL for a 3 to 6 bit analogto- digital converter with a sampling rate up to 24GS/s.
