One very interesting application for the Propeller is 1-bit Sigma-Delta
ADC (analog to digital conversion). This is made possible by the high
clock speed.

1-bit Sigma-Delta (ΣΔ) uses two Prop pins,
one for input, one for output. You also need two resistors and two
capacitors (for DC coupled inputs). |

Here's a typical setup:

I've made an object and VGA demo that utilizes both counters of a cog to
do simultaneous ΣΔ ADC of two inputs:
