A time interleaved ADC system includes a delay circuit that has a dynamically adjusted speed to achieve uniformly spaced sampling intervals. The adjustment control circuit monitors the sampling pulses associated with sampling time instant for each ADC, and provides one or more control signals to the delay circuit. In one example, the adjustment control circuit employs a phase detector circuit, an integrator circuit, and a dynamic biasing circuit. In this example, the phase detector circuit evaluates the sampling pulses to generate control signals for the integrator circuit, which generates signals that are utilized by the dynamic biasing circuit to adjust the delays associated with the delay circuit. The relative positions of the sampling pulses are controlled by adjusting the delay in the delay circuit.
