Abstract
A single slope A/D converter utilizes a sub-nanosecond time digitizer to achieve increased conversion rates independent of a high frequency clock, and so is capable of being implemented in diverse applications. High conversion rates ranging from about 3 MHz to about 12 MHz and higher may be implemented on integrated circuits without using a high frequency clock.
