It works! It is still painfully slow even after my changes to attempt to make it faster. So please give it time. This is a decimal version of the successive approximation digital volt meter I made before. It can read voltage up to around 10V with an accuracy of about 100mV.
INSTRUCTIONS:
The voltage source next to the opamp is the unknown. The 7-segment displays in the top right show the result. If you want to measure a different voltage, stop the simulation, adjust the source, and restart the simulation. This example will read a voltage of 9.0V.

GENERAL:
Basically, I combined a 7 bit successive approximation register (SAR) and circuitry through a data serial stream to 2 cascaded Double-Dabble circuits. The SAR (left side of circuit) finds the binary number closest to the unknown voltage, and the Double-Dabble circuits (right side) convert this to decimal for the 7-segment displays
