ABSTRACT:
An integrated circuit analog-to-digital converter for use on the focal plane of an infrared detector array. The analog-to-digital converter has a sample and hold circuit, a comparator circuit, and a latch circuit. A single slope conversion technique is used to generate digital signals representative of the amplitude of the input analog signal.
