Analog-to-digital converter

摘要

A technique includes receiving an analog signal and generating at least one second signal that has a timing indicative of a magnitude of the analog signal. The technique includes acquiring a plurality of measurements of the timing, where the measurements vary according to a stochastic distribution; and providing a digital representation of the analog signal based at least in part on the measurements.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a first converter to provide at least one signal, the at least one signal having a timing indicative of a magnitude of an analog signal; and a second converter to provide a digital representation of the analog signal in response to the timing, the second converter comprising:
a plurality of time comparators, each of the time comparators being adapted to measure the timing, and the measurements varying among the time comparators according to a stochastic distribution; anda combiner to combine the measurements to provide the digital representation.
