ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed, a converter for converting an input signal from one form to another includes a generator circuit for generating as a thermometer code a plurality of binary signals from the input signal. The converter includes one or more pseudo-majority gate circuits for correcting a broken thermometer code to be a corrected thermometer code. The corrected thermometer code is decoded to provide a digital code corresponding to the input signal. There may be more than one stage of pseudo-majority gate correction.
