Abstract
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes at least first thru third ADC slices configured to sample input signal and transmit first thru third digitally converted values thereof, at least one reference ADC slice configured to sample input signal and transmit a digitally converted reference value, first thru third and reference registers coupled to first thru third and reference ADC slices, respectively, a delay register having an input and output, and configured to produce a sample time adjustment signal, where the sample time adjustment signal facilitates adjustment of a phase of a next time sampling of the input signal by the second ADC slice, and a plurality of computational circuit elements coupled to the input, output, and the registers, and configured to determine values of an error, an approximate time derivative of the input signal estimated from the third, second and first sampled time point, and the sample time adjustment signal.
