contents Interleaved ADCs are critical for applications requiring multi-gigasample per second (GS/s) rates, but their performance is often limited by offset, gain, and timing skew mismatches across the sub-ADCs. We propose exact but compact expressions that describe the impact of each of those non-idealities on the output spectrum. We derive the distribution of the power of the induced spurs and replicas, critical for yield-oriented derivation of sub-ADC specifications. Finally, we provide a practical example in which calibration step sizes are derived under the constraint of a target production yield.
