ABSTRACT:
A method for converting an analog voltage (U) into a digital value, includes the voltage (U) being compared with a plurality of mutually different reference voltages (Ur1 to Urn). Depending on the respective comparison, a binary value is produced, which is stored each in one bistable memory element (F1 to Fn) controlled by an enabling signal (22). Thereafter, the stored binary values are converted into the digital value and the latter is emitted. The enabling signal (22) sets all the memory elements (F1 to Fn) to an initial state at the start of the conversion. It is possible to convert a peak value of an analog voltage (U) into a digital value rapidly and precisely, and the voltage (U) may also have an aperiodic profile.
