<p>Apparatus and methods are described for converting a serial input stream of weightless binary digits into a thermometer code in which there is provided a sequence of bit stores 121, to 128 each capable of storing a binary digit. An input device (14) inputs set bits (1's) at one end of said sequence and unset bits (0's) at the other of said sequence, in each case with the existing bits being moved along in the corresponding direction to accommodate the new set bit, with the bit at the other end of the sequence being 'lost'.</p> |
