Abstract:
Techniques to reduce correlated errors in a multi-channel sampling system. A plurality of clock signals may be generated from a master clock signal, each with edges offset from each other. The offset clock signals may be distributed to a plurality of sampling devices. Each sampling device may capture a respective input signal according to its offset clock. In this manner, the sampling units may sample their inputs signals over a distributed window of time rather than sampling in response to a common clock edge. By distributing the switching operations performed by the sampling units, noise effects are likely to be reduced.
