Generation of binary code from thermometer code is one
amongst the most style problems with any flash ADC
encoder. So many ways exists for this conversion.
a) Indirect conversion
One additional intermediate stage is needed here, which
might modify the parameters like enhancement in power,
current dissipation, propagation delay etc.
