Abstract
Description
technical field
[0001] The invention relates to a binary network for digital / analog conversion of an analog / digital converter operating on the principle of the successive approximation method. The invention also relates to an analog / digital converter comprising a corresponding binary network and a corresponding method involving digital / analog conversion according to the principle of the successive approximation method. Background technique
[0002] The functional principle of the successive approximation method represents an important method of operation for analog / digital converters. In this method, the required numerical value is determined in an iterative search process. For this purpose, the analog input voltage to be converted is compared with an analog threshold voltage by a comparator. The digital input word of the digital / analog converter is generated by an approximation register, also called SAR (Successive Approximation Register), connected downstream of the comp...
