MULTICHANNEL ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL CONVERTER Russian patent published in 2002 - IPC

FIELD: computer engineering, conversion of analog voltage to code. SUBSTANCE: multichannel analog-to-digital converter incorporates N information channels each comprising comparator, flip-flops, AND gate, OR gate, six AND gates, NOT gate, pulse generator, flip-flop, univibrator, subtracting counter, digital-to-analog converter, permanent storage, OR gate. EFFECT: increased speed of response of multichannel analog-to-digital converters which is achieved by employment of optimum logic procedure of code selection taking into account statistic characteristics of converted signals and time of transition of voltage across output of digital-to-analog converter to steady state. 4 dwg, 1 tbl
