Analog-to-digital converter with data processing

Patent Application - in OSTI.gov collection Jones, A.

This device incorporates an analog-digital converter including a data processing section which can be used to perform data processing on digitized data as is generated, off-line from the system processor. It consists of a 12 bit analog to digital converter for generating discrete digital data representative of an input analog signal, a data bus coupled to receive the digital data as is generated, a 512 Kbyte memory RAM to store the digitized data, and a system bus coupled to the data processing element for outputting the result of the performed operation. This is the first device with analog to digitalmore »« less

Optical analog-to-digital converter

Patent Vawter, G Allen ; Raring, James ; Skogen, Erik J

An optical analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is disclosed which converts an input optical analog signal to an output optical digital signal at a sampling rate defined by a sampling optical signal. Each bit of the digital representation is separately determined using an optical waveguide interferometer and an optical thresholding element. The interferometer uses the optical analog signal and the sampling optical signal to generate a sinusoidally-varying output signal using cross-phase-modulation (XPM) or a photocurrent generated from the optical analog signal. The sinusoidally-varying output signal is then digitized by the thresholding element, which includes a saturable absorber or at least one semiconductormore »« less

ANALOG-TO-DIGITAL DATA CONVERTER

Patent Rodgers, G.W. ; Althouse, J.E. ; Anderson, D.P. ; Bussey, G.R. ; Minnear, L.H.

Electrical apparatus is described, particularly useful in telemetry work, for converting analog signals into electrical pulses and recording them. An electronic editor commands the taking of signal readings at a frequency which varies according to linearity of the analog signal being converted. Readings of information signals are recorded, along with time base readings and serial numbering, if desired, on magnetic tape and the latter may be used to operate a computer or the like. Magnetic tape data may be transferred to punched cards.
