摘要:
During successive approximation analog to digital conversion a series of successive digital reference values is selected that converges towards a digital representation of an analog input signal. An analog reference signal is generated dependent on the successive digital reference values and compared to the analog input signal. The digital reference values are selected dependent on comparison results. In the selection of the digital reference values successive steps between digital reference values are each selected dependent on values of the comparator result from a plurality of preceding recursion cycles. The comparison results define a series of successively narrower ranges of digital values that contain a digital representation of the analog input signal. Use of a plurality of comparator results for selecting the steps in the digital reference values makes it possible to reduce uncertainty about whether the comparison result has settled. This in turn makes it possible to reduce the sizes of the successive ranges, which speeds up convergence.

摘要:
A structure with fine details, such as a periodic signal, is displayed on a raster display. To avoid aliasing due to an interference between the details and the columns and row pattern of the raster display each of the points representing the structure to be displayed is allocated to pixels in adjacent columns and/or rows. Allocation occurs by means of a stochastic procedure in which the probability to allocate a point to a pixel is dependent on the position of the point with respect to the pixel. Accumulated pixel-values are converted into a limited number of grey-values by means of an additional procedure that allows for fixed proportions of the pixels to have the same grey-value.
