Patent ID: 6859375

Claim:
An analog sampler for recording analog data relative to a signal comprising: at least one analog bus carrying the signal to be recorded; a matrix array of capture and recording cells arranged in rows and columns, each of the cells having at least one analog input coupled to at the least one analog bus and at least one digital input, each of the columns having a column input coupled to the digital input of each cell of the column; a write shift register having an input for receiving a clock signal and a plurality of shifted outputs coupled to the inputs of columns of the matrix array; wherein for each column an associated delay line having an entry of the delay line and successive shifted outputs in a number equal to or greater than a number of lines of the matrix array is provided, an input of the delay line constituting the column input, the column input being coupled to one of the digital inputs of cells of the column by the delay line, each delay line being formed by a succession of elementary delays, a first delay coupled to a digital input of a cell of a first of the rows, each of following elementary delays coupled biunivocally to a digital input of a cell of one of following lines and a last elementary delay coupled to a digital input of a cell of a last line; wherein the digital input of a cell coupled biunivocally to one of the elementary delays of the delay line constitutes successively a start and end control input of sampling for the cell.
