Abstract :
A new architecture for a 8-bit flash nonlinear analog to digital converter (NADC) with reduced complexity is proposed. The design of this NADC is module oriented using an optimal artificial neural network (NN) modelization. The 8-bit NADC is developed by using 4-bit NADC with appropriates analog circuits. The 8-bit NADC neural architecture was optimized in view to field programmable gate array (FPGA) implementation using very high-speed integrated circuit hardware description language (VHDL). Tests results are given to verify the implemented proposed NADC.
