Abstract
A latch circuit sequentially latches a first data weighted averaging (DWA) data word and then a second DWA data word. A first detector circuit identifies a first bit location in the first DWA data that is associated with an ending of a first string of logic 1 bits in the first DWA data word. A second detector circuit identifies a second bit location in the second DWA data word associated with an ending of a second string of logic 1 bits in the second DWA data word. A DWA-to-binary conversion circuit converts the second DWA data word to a binary word by using the first bit location and second bit location to identify a number of logic 1 bits present in said second DWA data word. A binary value for that binary word that is equal to the identified number is output.
