In this paper we compare analog to digital conversion (ADC) delay in Hopfield ADC and asymmetrical (lower triangular) neural network-based ADC due to Avitabile et al. (1991). It is shown that, although Hopfield ADC has extensive feedback, its behavior in asynchronous mode is similar to that of lower triangular ADC. It is also shown that any constant delay n-bit feedforward ADC must have an exponential number of neurons.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
