A full digital feedforward Time-Interleaved Analog-to-Digital Converter (TIADC) time skew calibration algorithm is presented, the time skew estimation adopts the feedforward extraction method of the improved derivative module of time skew function, which can greatly improve the accuracy of skew estimation when the input signal frequency is high. At the same time, the time skew function is based on subtraction, in order to reduce the complexity of skew estimation unit. Finally, the time skew is corrected by using first-order Taylor compensation. The simulation results show that when the input signal is a multi-frequency signal, the Spurious-Free Dynamic Range (SFDR) increases from 48.6 dB to 80.7 dB, after adopting the proposed time skew correction for a 4-channal 14-bit TIADC system. Compared with the traditional feedforward calibration structure based on correlation operation, the effective calibration input signal bandwidth can be increased from 0.19 to 0.39, which greatly increases the application range of the calibration algorithm.
