Testing the performances of neural A/D converter

In this paper, a new A/D converter architecture is proposed which includes the benefits of the neural A/D converters and advantages, in terms of speed and resolution, of traditional A/D converters. This neural A/D converter is characterized by a very simple circuit based on a cascade of 1 bit stages including only an analog comparator and an amplifier. The functional description of the new neural A/D converter and some design considerations are discussed. Tests used for conventional A/D converter dynamic characterization are performed and numerical results are also given.<<ETX>>
