Abstract
An analog signal is sampled; a reference signal synchronized to the sampling is generated; the sampling result is compared to said reference signal; the time interval from the sampling point to the time the comparison result satisfies the prescribed condition is acquired; and the amplitude of the digital representation is determined from the acquired time interval and knowledge of the reference signal.
