Abstract:
The influence of a jitter of a sampling clock of an analog-to-digital converter is digitally corrected at low power consumption. The sampling clock of the analog-to-digital converter is generated by a phase locked loop (PLL) using a reference clock, which has a lower frequency and lower jitter than the sampling clock, as a source oscillation. A time-to-digital converter (TDC) converts a timing error at a timing where the sampling clock and the reference clock are synchronized with each other into a digital value. A timing error at a sampling timing where the reference clock is not present is generated by interpolating a detected timing error. Thus, a jitter value of the sampling clock at each sampling timing is obtained. A sampling voltage error is calculated from the jitter value and the output of the analog-to-digital converter is digitally corrected.
