This paper presents, a novel digital foreground calibration technique in order to reduce the effects of timing-skew in time-interleaved analog-to-digital converters (ADCs). The proposed technique implementation is simple and helps to achieve very low power consumption. This technique is based on the using of a simple reference comparator which is synchronized by one of sub-channels in each cycle of calibration. Also the detection and correction are implemented by a simple LMS loop that guarantee the convergence of algorithm. Finally, simulation results show that the new approach method can effectively correct timing errors for a specified input signal, and achieves a low power consumption, low computational complexity and high convergence speed and also verify theoretical equations for it.

In time-interleaved (TI) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), bandwidth mismatches, caused by the limited bandwidth of input signal traces and sample circuits, seriously deteriorate the spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of the system. This paper analyzes the influence of bandwidth mismatch errors under different sampling sequences. Eventually, based on a randomization technique and the simulated annealing algorithm (SAA), a bandwidth mismatch optimization technique is presented that can work well with other bandwidth mismatch calibration methods. The behavior simulation results indicate that an improvement of 7[Formula: see text]dB in the SFDR can be achieved with this technique in a 16-channel TI-ADC after timing and gain calibration.
