Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A signal processing apparatus and a method are disclosed, in which the signal processing apparatus may convert an analog signal to a digital signal and store the digital signal. The signal processing apparatus may convert analog signals, transmitted by multiple analog channels, to digital signals using analog-to-digital converters (ADCs), hold the digital signals for a predetermined holding time, sequentially read the held digital signals for each digital channel, and store the sequentially read digital signals.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A signal processing apparatus, comprising: a signal converter configured to convert analog signals to digital signals; digital channels configured to output digital channel signals derived from the digital signals; and a digital signal arbiter configured to: hold each of the digital channel signals for a holding time, sequentially read the held digital channel signals from each digital channel generate a read signal, based on a clock signal, selec…
