ABSTRACT:
A transmission line analog-to-digital converter uses an unterminated transmission line driven by a current source to generate a stair-step waveform having equal time step periods for measuring the conversion time as a digital output value of an analog input. The converter has the advantages of simplicity, accuracy, high speed, low transistor count, and low power consumption. Fast successive approximation converters can be used for improved speed and accuracy of digital conversion of analog signals.
