Abstract
The Overlap Resolution Number System (ORNS) employs bit level analog residue arithmetic, and opens up a powerful approach to digital computing. This new redundant representation of signals, with Continuous Valued Digits, presents new methods for binary arithmetic and digital signal processing. The number system is based on analog residue digits, as opposed to binary or multiple-valued digit levels. Importantly, arithmetic in ORNS is tolerant to VLSI circuit tolerances. This allows simple elementary analog circuits to be employed, targeting digital accuracy
