    • Various embodiments of the present invention provide systems and methods for analog to digital conversion. For example, a retimed analog to digital converter is disclosed that includes a first set of sub-level interleaves and a second set of sub-level interleaves. The first set of sub-level interleaves includes a first sub-level interleave with a first set of comparators synchronized to a first clock phase, and a second sub-level interleave with a second set of comparators synchronized to a second clock phase. The second set of sub-level interleaves includes a third sub-level interleave with a third set of comparators synchronized to a third clock phase, and a fourth sub-level interleave with a fourth set of comparators synchronized to a fourth clock phase. A global interleave selects one of the first set of comparators based at least in part on an output from the second set of sub-level interleaves, and one of the third set of comparators based at least in part on an output from the first set of sub-level interleaves. In some instances of the aforementioned embodiments, an output of the first sub-level interleave and an output of the second sub-level interleave are synchronized to the third clock phase, and an output of the third sub-level interleave and an output of the fourth sub-level interleave are synchronized to the first clock phase.
