METHOD FOR CONVERTING BINARY WORD INTO THERMOMETRIC SINGAL AND THERMOMETRIC ENCODER

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To eliminate the influence of parasitic transition of a binary word IN(0: P-1) on a thermometric signal by using a simple structure which hardly consume energy and does not increase a decoding delay. ;SOLUTION: In this method, a binary word IN(0: P-1) is converted into thermometric signals T1,..., TN and this method has a step for converting the binary word IN(0: P-1) into an analog signal Vin and a step for comparing multiple reference signals Vi (i=1 to N).;COPYRIGHT: (C)2001,JPO
