Synchronizer Failure in A/D Converters,

Abstract

Analog-to-digital converters that must produce a valid output in a specified period of time are subject to synchronizer failure. Three types of A/D converters are examined: flash converters, clocked successive approximation converters, and self-timed successive approximation converters. Lower bounds on their worst-case conversion time as a function of the fault probability are derived.
