Abstract
Employed is a thermometer-code-to-one-of-n converter having a number of similar portions each of which includes gates each configured to detect a zero-zero-one pattern and to develop a one-of-n signal, gates each configured to detect a one-zero-zero pattern (an invalid pattern) and to develop an error signal, gates configured to combine the error signals, and gates configured to gate the error signals with the one-of-n pattern signals to block (inhibit) one-of-n signals.
