Abstract:
Systems and methods for converting analog signals to digital signals. A reference slice is associated with each of a plurality of active slices to balance the loading on an active sampling track and hold amplifier within each active slice. Alternatively, the reference slice is split into a portion having a reference ADC that is shared by a plurality of partial reference slices, each partial reference slice having a partial reference input module.

Claim (Index 18):
A method for processing signals, the method comprising:\n in a time interleaved analog-to-digital converter (ADC) comprising one or more active slices, each with a corresponding reference slice:\n receiving an analog signal in the one or more active slices; \n receiving the analog signal in the corresponding reference slices; and \n providing a correcting distortion to be applied to at least one of the one or more active slices using a digital output of the reference slice corresponding to the at least one active slice.
