Abstract
A circuit configuration for providing an analog output signal at any instant in time, and which is equal in magnitude to a selected signal of a plurality of analog input signals. If any one of the input signals are unwanted the circuit "votes" or ignores the unwanted signal. The voting is repeated until a predetermined number of signals remain, irrespective of the original number of input signals, whereupon the output signal is selected from the remaining signals.
