SBAA576A may 2023 – june 2023 ADS54J60
Interleaving is a powerful technique in which multiple analog-to-digital converters (ADC) are cascaded together to greatly increase the sampling rate of the converter. However, implementing an interleaving architecture comes at the expense of undesired spectral spurs. These spurs arise from gain, offset, timing and bandwidth mismatches between the individual converters. The ADS54J60 contains four interleaved ADC cores that each produce different spur offsets. Environmental temperature variations cause even larger differences in the spur offset values. This application note demonstrates how to implement the external offset correction block to maintain the amplitude of the interleaving spurs over temperature changes.
