ABSTRACT:
An apparatus is provided which has a first analog input and a second analog input. In a particular implementation, the first analog input is coupled to a first controllable oscillator and the second analog input is coupled to a second controllable oscillator. First and second digital output signals generated based on output oscillations from the first controllable oscillator and the second controllable oscillator are combined.
