Abstract: A sigma-delta analog-to-digital
feedback converter arrangement (10) achieves low
noise and a wide dynamic range by use of a
directional coupler (18) as a summing device for
generating the difference signal on which the
forward sigma-delta analog-to-digital converter
(32) operates. The feedback is provided by a
digital-to-analog reconstructor (36), which
applies the reconstructed analog signal to the
tap (18 3 ) of the directional coupler (18), in
which the feedback signal is summed with the
analog input signal. A low-noise amplifier (28)
is coupled to the output of the directional
coupler (18) at which the difference signal
appears, so the dynamic range of the signal
traversing the low-noise amplifier is small.
The high isolation between the tap (18 3 ) of the
directional coupler (18) and the source of
analog signals allows the use of an input
bandpass filter (16).

Abstract: A method and apparatus for making a five-wire touch-screen compatible with a four-wire interface is provided. A non-microprocessor-based converter is used that can be integrated directly into the touch-screen housing or the screen-to-interface ribbon cable. In one aspect of the converter, an analog logic and switching element routes the reference voltage from the four-wire controller to a current injection control device. The current injection control device applies a constant current to the outermost screen member of the touch-screen. When the outermost screen member and the innermost screen member of the touch screen come into contact, the current from the outermost member is injected into the resistive coating of the innermost member at the point of contact. The injected current is distributed to the four contact electrodes of the innermost member in direct proportion to the coordinates of the point of contact. Each of the four currents is converted to a voltage and routed to a logic amplifier that outputs a pair of voltages proportional to the x- and y-coordinates of the compression point. In another aspect of the converter, a feedback circuit is provided that ensures that the voltages proportional to the x- and y-coordinates continuously track the reference voltage. As a result of this feedback circuit, the coordinate measurement system is both stable and reliable.
