Abstract

See full text

In a case where a magnitude of an analog signal falls below a first threshold value, a comparator compares the analog signal with a first reference signal so as to obtain a p-bit digital signal. In a case where the magnitude of the analog signal exceeds the first threshold value, the comparator compares the analog signal with a second reference signal, which has a higher rate of change relative to time than the first reference signal, so as to obtain a q-bit digital signal, where q is less than p.
