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 15):
A system for processing signals, said system comprising:\n a time interleaved analog-to-digital converter (ADC), said time interleaved ADC comprising: one or more active slices, each active slice:\n sampling an input signal; and \n outputting a digital value representing the input signal; and \n a reference slice comprising:\n one or more reference slice input modules, each reference slice input module corresponding to one of the one or more active slices, each reference slice input module taking a sample of the input signal concurrent with the at least one sample taken by a corresponding active slice; and \n a reference ADC, the reference ADC receiving the samples taken by each reference slice input module, the reference ADC servicing one of the one or more reference slice input modules at a time by outputting a digital value representing the samples taken by the reference slice input module during the time the reference ADC is servicing that reference slice input module.
