ABSTRACT:
The quantizer (2′) has an input network (5) which generates N different drive signals (Vij) as a function of the quantizer input signal (VI+−VI−). The input network (5) is designed in such a way that a value of the respective drive signal (Vij) which is greater than a comparison value indicates that the quantization threshold which is associated with the respective drive signal (Vij) has been exceeded. Furthermore, the quantizer has a switching network (9), which associates the N drive signals (Vij) with the N comparator inputs.
