Claim:
1. An analogue to digital converter for converting an analogue input signal into a corresponding digital output signal comprising: a first time encoding converter for receiving said analogue input signal and outputting a time encoded signal based on said analogue input signal and a first conversion gain setting, wherein the time encoded signal encodes the analogue input signal by the timing of signal transitions that can vary continuously in time, a first time decoding convertor for receiving said time encoded signal and outputting said output digital signal based on said time encoded signal and a second conversion gain setting; and a gain allocation block for generating the said first and second conversion gain settings based on the time encoded signal; wherein the first time encoding converter is configured to encode the analogue input signal by the duration of pulse defined by a first signal transition and a second signal transition.
