Abstract

In a residue number system defined by the moduli set {p1=2.sup.n -1, p2=2.sup.n, p3=2.sup.n +1}, a method of converting residue numbers {m1,m2,m3} to associated analog signals r(m1,m2,m3) comprises the steps of selecting a first binary signal satisfying the relationships .vertline.m1*S3+m3*S1.vertline..sub.p1*p3 (where the constant S1=p1*p2/2 and S3=p2*p3/2) from a first look-up table; and summing the n less significant bits of this first digital signal and the negative of the residue digit signal m2 in a first binary adder for generating a second binary signal that is representative of the difference therebetween, taken modulo p2. This second binary signal addresses a second look-up table containing third binary signals which correspond to possible values of the product of the second binary signal and p1 and p3. Selected first and third binary signals are summed in a second binary adder for producing a binary output signal r(m1,m2,m3) that is representative of the residue number {m1,m2,m3}. This binary output signal is converted to a corresponding analog signal in a standard D/A converter. In an alternate method, 2n binary 0's are stuffed as less significant bits of the second bin…
