Abstract
Various implementations of sorting networks are described that utilize time-encoded data signals having encoded values. In some examples, an electrical circuit device includes a sorting network configured to receive a plurality of time-encoded signals. Each time-encoded signal of the plurality of time-encoded signals encodes a data value based on a duty cycle of the respective time-encoded signal or based on a proportion of data bits in the respective time-encoded signal that are high relative to the total data bits in the respective time-encoded signal. The sorting network is also configured to sort the plurality of time-encoded signals based on the encoded data values of the plurality of time-encoded signals.
