Rotation map with a controlling segment and its application to A/D converters

This paper studies the rotation map with a controlling segment. As the segment varies, the map exhibits superstable periodic orbits, chaos and related bifurcation. The map is applicable to an A/D converter having efficient resolution characteristics. We then present a circuit model of the A/D converter based on spiking neuron and rate-coding. Presenting a test circuit, basic operation is confirmed experimentally.
