Abstract:
An integrated circuit that is capable of converting an analog signal to at least one digital signal is provided. The integrated circuit includes a first input end capable of receiving a first analog signal. A first set of 2n-1 inverters are capable of quantizing the first analog signal and outputting a first set of 2n-1 digital values. Each of the first set of 2n-1 digital values is either 0 or 1. A first adder is coupled with the first set of 2n-1 inverters. The first adder is capable of summing the first set of 2n-1 digital values, outputting a first integer value that is capable of corresponding to at least one digital signal.
