ABSTRACT:
An improved A/D converter is disclosed which employs variable voltage sources which provide reference levels for a plurality of voltage comparators. The outputs from the comparators feed forward into a latch. The higher-order outputs from the latch feed forward to the voltage sources for lower-order comparators. The reference levels of the lower-order comparators change based on the results from the higher-order outputs thus forming a neural network for performing the conversion. The latched outputs allow selection of a desired number of conversion steps or alternatively, the converter may be capable of determining when conversion is complete.
