Time-Pulse Computing Device

A time-pulse computing device is a hybrid device in which information is represented using electrical pulses, the duration of which is proportional to the mathematical variables over which the computing operations are performed. It refers to analog-to-digital devices, since the time-pulse signals used in them combine the signs of analog and digital (discrete) information, the pulse duration changes continuously, and their width is changed by discrete time quantization. ^[one]

Time-pulse computing devices are used for summing, multiplying, dividing, integrating, differentiating, functional transformations over various variables converted to time-pulse signals. The main elements are a linear pulse divider, a temporary voltage modulator , a temporary demodulator , special-purpose voltage pulse generators, comparing devices, operational amplifiers , counters, registers. The accuracy is determined by the errors of the analog nodes , depending on their sensitivity, linearity, bandwidth, as well as quantization errors and the selected bit depth of the codes .
