Everytime a pulse is applied to the convert command input, Q1 resets the 1000 pF capacitor to 0V. This resetting action take 200 ns of the falling edge of the convert command pulse, the capacitor begins to charge linearly. In precisely 10 microsecond, it charges to 2.5V. The 10 microseconds ramp is applied to the LT1016's positive input. The LT1016 compares the ramp to Ex, the unknown, at its negative input. For a 0V - 2.5 V range, Ex is applied to the 2.5 k ohm resistor. From a 0V - 10 V range, the 2.5 k ohm resistor is grounded and Ex is applied to the 7.5k ohm resistor. Output of the LT1016 is a pulse whose width is directly dependent on the value of Ex. This pulse width is used to gate a 100 MHz clock. The 100 MHz clock pulse bursts that appear at the output are proportional to Ex. For a 0V - 10 V input, 1024 pulses appear at full- scale, 512 at 5.00 V, etc.

The cyclic converter consists of a chain of identical stages, each of which senses the polarity of the input. The stage then subtracts Vref from the input and doubles the remainder if the polarity was correct. The signal is full-wave rectified and the remainder of Vin - Vref is doubled. A chain of these stages gives the gray code equivalent of the input voltage in digitized form related to the magnitude of Vref. Possessing high potential accuracy, the circuit using NE531 devices settle in 5 us.
