- "In addition to raising the conversion speed, interleaving also reduces the metastability rate. Since each channel is given a longer time for conversion, the probability of metastability drops exponentially"
- "The performance of interleaved ADCs is ultimately limited by mismatches among the channels. Gain, offset, and timing mismatches heavily impact the overall signal-to-(noise + distortion) ratio (SNDR) [1] at resolutions of 8 bits or higher. As explained below, the timing mismatch is the most difficult to calibrate because it does not easily lend itself to detection or correction."
