A new architecture for Nyquist-rate analog-to-digital (A/D) conversion is presented. The new architecture combines the concept of time-interleaved A/D converters with the 16 A/D converter. For every doubling of the clock frequency, the resolution of the A/D converter improves by bits, where is the order of the 16 modulators. The advantage of the time-interleaved 16 A/D converter is reduced complexity of the digital filters. Another feature of this architecture is that the linearity of the converters depends on the linearity of each channel and is independent of the number of channels.
