An analog-to-digital conversion circuit includes analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) including a target analog-to-digital converter (ADC) providing second data samples, a first adjacent ADC providing first data samples, and a second adjacent ADC providing third data samples. The ADCs perform an analog-to-digital conversion using a time-interleaving approach in response to clock signals having different phases and including a reference clock signal. A timing calibration circuit includes a relative time skew generator generating a relative time skew and an absolute time skew generator generate an absolute time skew. A clock generator adjusts at least one phase of the clock signals based on the absolute time skew.

An analog-to-digital conversion circuit includes; a first analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a second ADC and a third ADC collectively configured to perform conversion operations according to a time-interleaving technique, and a timing calibration circuit configured to calculate correlation values and determine differences between the correlation values using first samples generated by the first ADC, second samples generated by the second ADC, and third samples generated by the third ADC during sampling periods, wherein the timing calibration circuit is further configured to control a phase of a clock signal applied to the second ADC in response to a change in absolute value related to the differences generated during the sampling periods.

An optics-based fingerprint sensor may include a first photodiode, a first metal shield structure that is formed on the first photodiode and includes a first opening, a first color filter structure that is formed on the first metal shield structure and including a second opening exposing the first opening, a second photodiode that is spaced apart from the first photodiode by a predetermined distance, a first nano-optical filter structure that is formed on the second photodiode, and a first band limit filter structure that is formed on the nano-optical filter structure.
