ABSTRACT:
This device includes a main signal path in which a capacitor is included upstream of an analog/digital converter in which a conversion is triggered by a clock. According to the invention, the output of the analog/digital converter is connected to inputs of several threshold detectors which have positive detection thresholds in a progression proportional to consecutive powers of two, and several other threshold detectors which have negative detection thresholds which also progress proportionally to consecutive powers of two, which threshold detectors control current generators whose currents are added together into the capacitor.
