ABSTRACT:
A signal processing apparatus for converting an analog signal to a digital signal and processing the digital signal. In particular, a digital filter for performing processing at high speed is implemented by using an integrated circuit of low power consumption. The signal processing apparatus includes a circuit for comparing an input analog signal with each voltage of a plurality of analog reference voltages and generating a thermometer code Tc depending upon the analog input signal, a decoder for detecting a change point of the thermometer code Tc, and a plurality of memory circuits having output signal lines of the decoder as word selection lines. The product of an input signal value corresponding to each word selection line and a predetermined filter coefficient is stored in the corresponding word of the memory circuits. The memories are used as look-up tables.
