A method and low cost apparatus to accurately determine the gain, offset,
and/or skew calibration values of each A/D converter in a few steps for
an interleaving A/D converter. The calibration method includes: applying
sine waves to the input as a calibration signal during calibration, A/D
converting of the sine wave by a plurality of A/D conversion means in a
predetermined order and storing the converted data in a data storage
memory, and determining the gain, offset, and/or skew calibration values
by using sine curve fitting on a sequence of converted data for each of
the plurality of A/D conversion means.
