<p>A thermometric-binary code conversion circuit 201 including an input unit 202 that outputs an encode input signal upon receiving a thermometric input signal. An encoder unit 204 outputs an encoded output signal upon receiving an encode input signal. An output unit 203 outputs a binary output signal upon receiving the encoded output signal. The encoder unit directly converts the code in accordance with a thermometric-binary code conversion equation expressed by Boolean algebra without forming intermediate code and without having dependence among bits of the binary output signal. <IMAGE></p> |
