ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and a method for controlling a mode of operation of a data converter is based on a length of an input word signal to the data converter. The apparatus includes a bit counter that counts the number of bits in the word received by the data converter and provides a word length signal corresponding to the number of bits in the word, and a mode selector that receives the word length signal and selects an operational mode of the data converter based on the word length signal. The method includes steps of counting the number of bits in the word, and selecting a mode of operation of the data converter based on the number of bits in the word.
