A mixed analog/digital coprocessor for image scanning

A new ASIC coprocessor has been designed for image scanning applications. The chip contains a high performance analog part which is based on an original pipelined RSD A/D converter. This paper describes the functions and the architecture of the circuit and will focus on the analog unit description and its implementation.<<ETX>>
