A Solution To Heavy Analog Circuit Power Consumption
Why is there a need for a new class of analog circuits?
There may be drawbacks down the road, but we have successfully demonstrated the proof of concept. We are researching these comparator-based circuits and zero-crossing-based circuits to push for higher performance. The prototypes we've demonstrated performed at a relatively modest rate - so now we're trying for high accuracy and high speed. We are also working on applying these concepts to different applications. Our prototypes are built for analog-to-digital ...
