  • Apparatus for the conversion of analog audio signals to a digital data stream
    Patent number: 5600317
    Abstract: This invention relates to a circuit for converting an analog audio signal to a highly resolving bit stream. An audio signal (U.sub.In) is converted on several parallel paths (1, 2) having different amplitude sensitivities into a data stream, where the offset of the individual paths (1, 2) is compensated for individually. Subsequently the amplification difference produced by the different amplitude sensitivities is determined and compensated for, so that one of the two data streams is made available as a bit stream for further processing. The selection of the data stream which is made available as a bit stream for further processing, is determined based on the amplitude of the audio signal (U.sub.In).
