Abstract: An architecture for a multiplier-accumulator (MAC) uses a common Unit Element (UE) for each aspect of operation, the MAC formed as a plurality of MAC UEs, a plurality of Bias UEs, and a plurality of Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC) UEs which collectively perform a scalable MAC operation and generate a binary result. Each MAC UE, BIAS UE and ADC UE comprises groups of NAND gates with complementary outputs arranged in NAND-groups, each NAND gate coupled to a differential charge transfer bus through a binary weighted charge transfer capacitor to form an analog multiplication product as a charge applied to the differential charge transfer bus. The analog charge transfer bus is coupled to groups of ADC UEs with an ADC controller which enables and disables the ADC UEs using successive approximation to determine the accumulated multiplication result.

Abstract: A multibit flash quantizer circuit, such as included as a portion of delta-sigma conversion circuit, can be operated in a dynamic or configurable manner. Information indicative of at least one of an ADC input slew rate or a prior quantizer output code can be used to establish a flash quantizer conversion window. Within the selected conversion window, comparators in the quantizer circuit can be made active. Comparators outside the conversion window can be made dormant, such as depowered or biased to save power. An output from such dormant converters can be preloaded and latched. In this manner, full resolution is available without requiring that all comparator circuits within the quantizer remain active at all times.

Abstract: An input analog signal is converted to a digital output signal by an oversampled predictive DPCM coder which includes an n stage delay line in the feedback loop. The n delay line outputs are weighted by coefficients a.sub.i . . . a.sub.n selected according to the relationship ##EQU1## AND THEN SUMMED. Alternatively, the feedback loop may comprise a chain of n integrators arranged so that the signal fed back to the comparator is the sum of single, double, triple...n order integration. By so doing, the coder attenuates the signal power at the quantizer input while the attenuator coefficients are independent of the input signal statistics.A similar technique may also be applied in an oversampled error feedback coder, which includes a feedback loop having an n stage delay line. Here again, the delay line outputs are weighted in accordance with the above relationship. Alternatively, a chain of n integrators may be used in the coder input, and an identical chain employed in the feedback loop. By so doing, the coder attenuates the coding noise power in the signal band while the coder design is rendered independent of the quantizing error statistics.

Abstract: Methods of encoding in digital form an analogue signal including a modulated sub-carrier wave, such as a colour television video signal, are described in which the rate of sampling of the analogue signal is a simple factor, for example 3, times the frequency of the sub-carrier wave. The methods of encoding include comparing the instantaneous value of the analogue signal with a previously occurring value, which conveniently is spaced by one or more cycles of the sub-carrier from the instantaneous value, and then encoding the difference between the two values. From an N.T.S.C. signal the spacing between the two values may be one cycle of the sub-carrier wave, or about one line of the scan, (the actual spacing being an integral number of cycles of the sub-carrier wave, or both differences can be combined to produce a diagonal difference signal. The same spacings can be used for a PAL signal if a PAL modifier is used, otherwise a vertical spacing of two lines is necessary because of the change of phase of the sub-carrier in alternate lines. The differences from several spacings can be combined trigonometrically to synthesise a difference corresponding to a desired spacing, such as one cycle of the sub-carrier wave.

Abstract: A differential pulse code modulator includes a delta modulator for converting an analog input signal to a delta modulated signal, a digital filter for removing quantizing noise components, and a direct feedback pulse code modulation encoder. The feedback encoder includes a subtractor for determining the difference between a decoded digital signal and the output of the digital filter, a digital integrator for integrating the output of the subtractor, a digital coder for converting the output of the integrator to a differential pulse code modulation signal and a digital decoder for converting the differential signal to the decoded digital signal supplied to the subtractor. Clock pulses are supplied to the delta modulator, the digital filter, and the direct feedback pulse code modulation encoder.

Abstract: Differential pulse code modulation (DPCM) is used for a fast digital transmission of the analog input signal. In the DPCM modulator, a difference is built between the scaled input signal and the output of a digital/analog converter, which is controlled by a digital integrator. Comparator means generate a DPCM signal with values corresponding to "no change", "up-" or "down-integration" in dependence on the amplitude and polarity of the mentioned difference. The zero-crossings of the input signal itself are detected separately and are converted into a one-bit PCM signal, having the value "reset". The DPCM and PCM signals are combined into a multi-value control signal, which is fed to the integrator and causes it to follow-up the input signal and make a reset at each zero-crossing. The multi-value control signal is coded, transmitted to the receiver side of the link and decoded. The different decoded values control an integrator in the demodulator in the same way, as in the modulator. The input signal is reconstructed by digital integration of the DPCM. The periodical reset of the receiving integrator avoids a dc offset of its output, caused in any conventional DPCM system by the initial conditions of the integrator, by transmission errors, by an offset of the modulator and so forth.
