摘要:
A flash type AD converter includes a group of comparators divided into blocks each including 2.sup.N comparators (N=1, 2, ---), each comparing an input signal with one of a plurality of reference signals, each having individually different voltage levels. One of the comparators may correspond to a level change point where the voltage level of the input signal is higher than that of the reference signal of that comparator which then generates a specific output different from those of the remaining comparators. The converter generates a binary-coded output on the basis of the specific output generated from the level change point comparator. When any one of the plural comparators belonging to one of the blocks generates the specific output, the specific output is applied as an inhibit signal to inhibit appearance of an output from a block including comparators having reference voltage signals with corresponding levels lower than those of the comparators of the block to which the comparator generating the specific output belongs.

Disclosed is a parallel analog-to-digital converter in which a plurality of comparators are divided into a plurality of groups each consisting of a predetermined number of comparators, and outputs of at least these comparators belonging to the same group are added in an analog or digital fashion. Whether or not the result of addition of the outputs of the comparators exceeds a predetermined threshold level is decided in an analog or digital fashion so as to determine high-order and low-order bits of a digital output signal of the converter on the basis of the result of decision.

Making use of a digital acoustic signal processing apparatus arranged by employing memory device for storing a digital acoustic signal, acoustic frequency feature enhancing device for enhancing an acoustic frequency feature, and low-speed sound reproducing device for changing a speed of the stored voice to reproduce this voice as a low speed into a hearing aid and an appliance with an acoustic output, a hearing function difficulty due to an age is aided in utilization of audio output appliances such as a hearing aid, television receiver, and a telephone receiver. After the voice has been stored in the memory device, a process for enhancing the frequency characteristic in order to fit the frequency characteristic to the individual hearing characteristic and the voice reproducing environment is carried out and thereafter represented to the user. The user can repeatedly listen the voice stored in the memory device with employment of control device for controlling the voice reproducing operation. Furthermore, since a process for expanding a time scale during a sound reproducing operation is carried out, the voice can be represented at the low speed. Since the voice whose frequency characteristic has been enhanced can be represented at the low speed in order that either an individual hearing ability, or an apparatus is fitted to a using environment, hearing articulation can be improved with respect to such a hearing, the frequency resolution and the time resolution are simultaneously deteriorated.

In a cyclic averaging analog to digital converter, reference voltages having a plurality of levels, each of which is inputted to one of a plurality of comparators in a flash type analog to digital converter, are shifted cyclically by a small voltage, and the outputs of the flash type analog to digital converter are added for every shift cycle in order to obtain an output digital signal. The outputs of a voltage dividing circuit provide the reference voltages with N levels, the levels differing cyclically by a small voltage. The N reference voltages are divided into groups, each of which consists of M elements N/M, switches are provided each of which selects one of the reference voltages one after another for an associated group N/M reference voltages are thus selected by these switches and are supplied to the comparators.

A pipelined A/D converter which minimizes differential non-linearity by preventing mismatching between converting stages. The A/D converter includes a plurality of converting stages connected in a cascade form wherein each of the converting stages includes an ADC unit for converting an analog input into a digital output. The digital outputs from said converting stages form a conversion output. Each preceding converting stage except a last converting stage further includes an amplifier for deriving and amplifying a conversion residue representing a quantization error resulting from the conversion performed by the preceding converting stage based on the digital output outputted by the ADC unit of the preceding converting stage and the analog input inputted to the preceding converting stage. The amplified conversion residue from the preceding converting stage is supplied as an analog input to a succeeding converting stage. A connector is provided for connecting the amplifier of the preceding converting stage to a node in the ADC unit of the succeeding converting stage. The node provides a base voltage to the ADC unit of the succeeding converting stage.

An image coding method includes the steps of storing a reference image which is a decoded image of an image previously coded based on a first prediction image synthesized by performing motion compensation, estimating motion vectors based on a comparison of an input image to be coded and the reference image, and synthesizing a second prediction image by performing motion compensation using the motion vectors and the reference image. A rounding method used for pixel value interpolation in performing the motion compensation for synthesizing the first prediction image is one of a positive rounding method and a negative rounding method, and a rounding method used for pixel value interpolation in performing the motion compensation for synthesizing the second prediction image is a different one of the positive rounding method and the negative rounding method.
