Abstract:
1. A method of providing a value for each element of a sequence of elements in a multi-bit data converter, the values being for a present conversion cycle in operation of the converter, wherein a pointer position identifies an element in the sequence of elements for a conversion cycle, the method comprising: calculating a pointer position for the present conversion cycle (P determining if the pointer position for the present conversion cycle (P attributing a first component-value to all of the elements, comprising: updating the new pointer position (P attributing a second component-value to the elements in accordance with a (N−1) attributing a third component-value to the elements in accordance with the inverse of the second component-value for the previous conversion cycle; and adding the first, second and third component-values for each element in order to provide a value for each of the elements for the present conversion cycle.
