Abstract
A digital equalizer with reduced number of multipliers for correction of the frequency responses of an interleaved analog-to-digital-converter (ADC) is disclosed. An exemplary interleaved analog to digital converter with digital equalization includes at least one composite ADC including M time-interleaved sub-ADCs, and an equalization configuration deploying a Pre-FIR transformers unit, a FIRs assembly unit, and a Post-FIR transformers unit. The FIRs assembly unit includes a finite impulse response (FIR) filter network which is operative pursuant to a Fast Filtering Algorithm as an alternative to a conventional finite impulse response network, enabling a reduction of the number of multipliers compared to conventional FIR filter-based equalization networks for ADCs.
