should all converters be a combinational logic circuit? why or why not?

Question

converter--makes 1 format into another format

Answer 1

what the hell is a converter??

All i can tell you is...

Pure combinational circuits are usually faster than sequential logic circuits. If you need speed then yes.

Pure combinational circuits cannot be in different states (they do no have memory). So if you dont need memory then yes.
This also means that the input must be in parallel and not serial coz the circuit has no memory.

eeehh thats all i can think about.

Answer 2

Probably not. One approach is seldom the right answer for all cases, wether we're talking about converters or not. Combinational logic solutions typically take more space and logic and power and so forth than other solutions. So where space and power consumption are premium then a combinational solution may not be the best approach. In the case of A to D converters, a "combinational" solution(more appropriately called a flash converter) is impractical or impossible once you go beyond 12 bits or so.

Answer 3

Not all converters are logic circuits but i think you mean by converter an A/D converter so in this case the answer is yes. All A/D converters (analog to digital) are logic circuits.
