To-digit-serial converters for systems processing data in digit- serial format

摘要

Conversion apparatus is used to convert digital data words to a digit- serial data format wherein digit bit-width is optimal for subsequent processing of the digital data words. Optimization is with regard to throughput efficiency, a measure of integrated circuit performance proportional to throughput rate of integrated circuitry and inversely proportional to the area of that integrated circuitry, comprising processing circuitry and attendant conversion circuitry.
