Illustrative binary networks for analog/digital converters are described.
For instance, an analog/digital converter may operate in accordance with
a principle of successive approximation, and may include a plurality of
N+1 circuit nodes each representing one of N binary weights and
M.gtoreq.1 redundant binary weights, wherein each binary weight
corresponds to a different position of a redundant binary code formed as
part of the approximation. Illustrative methods of operation of the
binary network and/or the analog/digital converter are also described.
