ABSTRACT:
A clock-controlled analog/digital converter operating according to the weighing method includes a sample-and-hold element with an analog input, a comparator having inputs and a successive approximation register having a data output. The sample-and-hold element, the comparator and the successive approximation register being mutually interconnected in series. The successive approximation register includes memory elements for incrementing a defined logical state for each successive weighing step as well as for writing in and storing in memory the particular result of weighing ascertained by the comparator. A digital/analog converter has an input side connected to the data output and an output side connected to one of the inputs of the comparator. A decoder controls the comparator and the successive approximation register and has an input side connected to the data output.
