Abstract

See full text

A first clock generator receives an input clock, generates a first clock signal for use in a first level of a multilevel track and hold circuit of a time-interleaved analog to digital convertor, and generates a time-leading version of the first clock signal. A plurality of second clock generators receive the input clock and generate a corresponding plurality of second clock signals for use in a second level of the multi-level track and hold circuit. The plurality of second level clock generators include an adjustable delay that delays a corresponding one of the plurality of second clock signals by a delay amount that is determined based on a delay control signal. A feedback controller generates the delay control signal based on the time-leading version of the first clock signal and further based on the corresponding one of the plurality of second clock signals.
