Abstract
Optimum control logic is a popular subject with designers and manufacturers of high-resolution high-speed low-cost modular analog-to-digital converters of the successive approximation type which are found in abundance in today’s module market. Also, with miniaturization being a strong consideration, it may not be long before the complete control logic will be available in a single medium-scale integrated circuit chip. The designs described here may be a strong contender for such chips. One novelty of the designs presented here is found in their optimum logic and in their minimum component count, considering presently available components. Another novelty is that they are modular or iterative, i.e., the logic structure is the same for all bits. A high-resolution converter logic is then simply an extension of the logic for a low-resolution converter.
