ABSTRACT:
A receive signal strength indication analog-to-digital converter includes a digital portion and an analog portion. The digital portion includes structure for approximating radio frequency receive signal strength in digital form and a state machine implementing a successive approximation algorithm. The analog portion includes a digital-to-analog converter, an analog comparator, and structure for transmitting the output of the digital-to-analog converter to the analog comparator. The receive signal strength indication analog-to-digital converter also includes structure for transmitting the approximate radio frequency receive signal strength in digital form to the digital-to-analog converter and structure for transmitting the output of the comparator to the state machine.
