    Abstract: An apparatus and method for timing skew calibration. For example, the apparatus may include an analog-to-digital conversion circuit configured to sample an input signal based on a clock signal and convert the sampled input signal into a digital code, a skew detection circuit configured to calculate a first sum of standard deviations for respective levels of the digital code, compare the first sum of the standard deviations with a previously calculated second sum of standard deviations, and select a smaller value from among the first sum and the second sum, and a compensation circuit configured to compensate for a skew of the clock signal based on the selected one of the first sum and the second sum.

    Abstract: A phase correcting circuit includes a delay circuit that receives an input clock signal and delays the input clock signal as much as a first delay time to output an output clock signal to a 0-th node, a first fine tuning circuit, and a second fine tuning circuit. The first fine tuning circuit includes a first terminal connected with the 0-th node, a second terminal receiving a first control signal, and a third terminal, and the second fine tuning circuit includes a fourth terminal connected with the third terminal, a fifth terminal receiving a second control signal, and a sixth terminal connected with a load capacitor. In response to the first control signal, the output clock signal may be further delayed as much as a second delay time shorter than the first delay time. In response to the second control signal, the output clock signal may be advanced as much as a third delay time shorter than the first delay time.

    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to successive approximation register analog-to-digital converters. An example successive approximation register analog-to-digital converter includes a first sampling and holding circuit that samples an analog signal at a first point in time and generates a first input voltage, a second sampling and holding circuit that samples the analog signal at a second point in time and generates a second input voltage, and a first analog-to-digital converter. The first analog-to-digital converter performs a feed forward equalization function by receiving the first input voltage and the second input voltage, sampling the first input voltage and the second input voltage, and outputting a multi-bit digital signal based on a sampling result of the first input voltage and a sampling result of the second input voltage.
