  • Patent number: 6285310
    Abstract: An analog/digital converter including an amplifier (1) wired as an integrator, a comparator (2) electrically downstream from the integrator, a time counter (6) which continually counts the pulses of a pulse generator (5), a bistable element (4), and additional circuitry. The bistable element (4) drives the input network of the amplifier (1) with at least one switch (3) in such a way that in one of its two positions (“off” condition) a current Ix proportional to the analog measured value is integrated, and in the other position (“on” condition) a constant reference current Iref with opposite polarity to the current Ix is integrated in addition to current Ix.
