Abstract :
A novel means of implementing an analogue-to-digital conversion function by charge-transfer techniques is described. The number of metered charge packets that is required to fill a potential `well¿ to a predetermined threshold level is linearly proportional to the magnitude of the input analogue voltage. Circuits have been implemented using p-channel, aluminium-gate technology, and have demonstrated 10¿12 bits resolution capability.
