Abstract

A digitalization assembly of the over-sampling type includes an analog to digital converter (2) producing at a frequency F=kf small-format p samples and a digital filter (3) which, through the summation of a certain number n of over-samples, produces validated larger P-format samples at the frequency f, at instants fixed by a clock. In order to readjust the sampling instants in relation to an outside event which can occur at any time, a temporary memory store (5) is inserted between the converter (2) and the filter (3) and, according to the instant of arrival of this event, the appropriate samples to be sent towards the filter for their summation are selected.
