Abstract

A bucket brigade A/D weighting function multiplier which provides a simultaneous A/D conversion and multiplication by a weighting function in a continuous pipe line fashion, is disclosed. Each converted bit from the A/D converter is utilized by the multiplier as it becomes available instead of waiting for the conversion of the entire word, to provide a weighted digital output.
