Abstract
An apparatus includes a first phase interpolator configured to receive a first clock signal and generate a second clock signal, and an ADC that includes a clock divider configured to generate a third clock signals based on the second clock signal, a token generator configured to generate a first token signal, a first phase detector configured to generate a first and second output based on the first and third clock signals, and a second phase detector configured to generate a third output based on the token signal. Control logic may be provided to perform a foreground calibration to align the first token signal with a second token signal of a second ADC-group, and a background calibration to align the third clock signal with the first clock signal.
