System and method for improved time-interleaved analog-to-digital
converter arrays which reduces sampling mismatch distortion found in
prior art arrays. There may be two causes of non-uniform sampling
mismatch in a TI-ADC array, a mismatch due to skew and a mismatch due to
clock jitter. To minimize non-uniform sampling mismatch, the mismatch due
to skew can be addressed. A preferred embodiment comprises adjusting a
delay imparted on the sampling clock by an adjustable delay in each
channel of a plurality of channels in the TI-ADC array to minimize skew
and randomly switching between two delays that span a zero-skew delay to
reduce residual skew in each channel and thus eliminate (or reduce)
frequency domain tones caused by non-uniform sampling mismatch.
