Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce higher harmonics and dynamic distortion by receiving a differential logical synchronizing signal at the input terminal of a timing circuit, and supplying the first differential timing signal to a track-and-hold stage and the second differential timing signal to a flip flop, respectively. SOLUTION: Differential logical synchronizing signals Clk+, Clk- are received at the input terminal of a timing circuit, and the first differential timing signals TClK+, TClK- are outputted to a differential track-and-hold stage TandH at an output terminal. The second differential timing signals DClK+, DClK- are outputted to a flip flop LATCH-ECL at the output terminal of the timing circuit. The differential track-and-hold stage TandH tracks differential analog input signals IN+, IN- during the tracking phase of the first differential timing signals TClK+, TClK-. The differential flip flop LaATCH-ECL outputs the third differential logical control signals S+, S-.

Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent the generation of accidental patterns in a frequency domain by individually controlling two identical offest compensating circuits for two ATOD converters. SOLUTION: An interleave type ATOD converter is constituted of two identical analog digital converters, i.e., one for even bit EVEN-S signal path and one for ATOD-EVEN and odd bit ODD-S signal path and an ATOD-ODD. The offsets of digital analog converters included in the ATOD-EVEN and the ATOD-ODD are independently compensated for by the loop constituted of offset compensation stages and OFFSET-EVEN-STAGE and OFFSET-ODD- STAGE controlled by a digital post process blocks through a dedicated digital analog converter DA-OFF-E and a DAC-OFF-O.
