Abstract
The disclosure concerns controlling circuitry operably connectable to a plurality of constituent analog-to-digital converters (sub-ADCs) of an asynchronous time-interleaved analog-to-digital converter (TI-ADC). The controlling circuitry is configured to maintain a set of a number of sub-ADCs currently available for processing of an input sample, wherein the set is a subset of the plurality. Maintenance of the set is achieved by reception, from each of one or more of the sub-ADCs of the plurality, of an availability signal indicative of availability of the corresponding sub-ADC, and (responsive to the reception of the availability signal) addition of the corresponding sub-ADC to the set. Maintenance of the set is further achieved by (for each new input sample) selection of a sub-ADC of the set for processing of the new input sample, and (responsive to the selection) removal of the selected sub-ADC from the set and causing of the selected sub-ADC to process the new input sample. Corresponding TI-ADC, wireless communication receiver, wireless communication node, method and computer program product are also disclosed.
