Abstract
A frontend circuit of a time-interleaved ADC is provided. The frontend circuit can include a track-and-hold circuit to sample an analog input signal to the ADC, a sub-ADC circuit to convert the sampled analog input signal to a digital output signal, and a source-follower circuit. An input of the source-follower circuit can be coupled to an output of the track-and-hold circuit, and an output of the source-follower circuit can be coupled to an input of the sub-ADC circuit. The source-follower circuit is to provide buffering between the track-and-hold circuit and the sub-ADC circuit. The circuit further includes a common-mode-adjusting circuit to dynamically adjust common-mode settings of the time-interleaved ADC. While adjusting the common-mode settings, the common-mode-adjusting circuit can adjust, separately, an input common-mode voltage of the track-and-hold circuit and an input common-mode voltage of the sub-ADC circuit based on current Process, Voltage, and Temperature (PVT) conditions.
