ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER OF PARALLEL COMPARISON Russian patent published in 1994 - IPC

FIELD: conversion equipment. SUBSTANCE: analog-to-digital converter has n-position coding units each composed of p-step resistive dividers and group of comparators. It is supplemented with resistive displacement element inserted into all coding units but first one which is placed between first output of resistive divider and zero potential wire, decoupling elements are inserted into all coding units and additional resistive displacement element is included into first (n-1) coding units connected between second input of resistive divider and output of decoupling element of corresponding unit. EFFECT: decreased conversion error due to insertion of additional units. 1 dwg
