ABSTRACT:
An analog-to-digital converter employs both flash and neural converters for converting an analog input voltage. The flash converter converts the higher-order bits in a single clock cycle. Values of the lower-order bits are determined by outputs from comparators with reference voltages provided by digital-to-analog converters. The D/A converters receive inputs from the flash converter as well as from those comparators which provide output results for higher-order bits. This interconnection of D/A converters and comparators thus forms a neural network for determining the value of the lower-order bits.
