ABSTRACT:
A multislope continuously integrating analog-to-digital converter for converting an analog input signal into a digital output signal where the converter employs an integrator for continuously integrating the input signal in relation to a series of reference voltages of increasing magnitude and a zero crossing detector to determine when the reference voltage has completely discharged the integrator. A counter or the like is employed for timing the duration of the discharge which corresponds to the digital equivalent of the analog input signal.
