    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: A read and analog-to-digital data conversion channel comprising preamplifying circuits (Pre-Amp), automatic gain control circuits (VGA), harmonics filters (MRA), equalizing low pass filters (LPF), a time interleaved analog-to-digital converter (INTERLEAVED ATOD) including a pair of identical analog/digital converters (ATOD_EVEN, ATOD_ODD) functioning in parallel and at a half clock frequency, subdividing the signal path into two parallel paths through said two identical converters, one for even bits and the other for odd bits, and a digital post-processing block (DIGITAL Post Processing) fed by two output streams of said time interleaved converter (INTERLEAVED ATOD) and outputting a reconstructed data stream (DATA) and controlling said circuits, through dedicated digital-to-analog converters (DAC_VGA, DAC_MRA, DAC_FC, DAC_BOOST), means for compensating the offset of the digital-to-analog converters contained in said pair of identical analog-to-digital converters (ATOD_EVEN, ATOD_ODD) of said time interleaved converter (INTERLEAVED ATOD), controlled by said post-processing block (DIGITAL Post Processing) through a digital-to-analog converter, further comprises two distinct offset compensating circuits, each composed of an offset compensating stage (OFFSET_EVEN_STAGE, OFFSET_ODD_STAGE) independently controlled by said digital post-processing block through a dedicated digital-to-analog converter (DAC_OFF_E, DAC_OFF_O), preventing appearance of spurious patterns in frequency domain.
