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.

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.
