Abstract
An analog-digital converter for converting an analog signal into a digital signal includes a first configuration register for configuring a first group of channels and a second configuration register for configuring a second group of channels. The conversion result of the channels of the first group is transferred to a memory via a direct memory access. Each channel of the second group of channels has an associated respective data register and the conversion results of the channels of the second group are stored in the respective data registers.
Claims20
An analog-to-digital converter (“ADC”) for converting an analog signal into a digital signal, comprising:
- a first configuration register for configuring a first group of channels, wherein a conversion result of the channels of said first group is transferred to a memory via a direct memory access, and
- a second configuration register for configuring a second group of channels, wherein each channel of said second group of channels has associated a respective data register, and wherein conversion results of the channels of said second group are stored in the respective data registers.
A method for converting an analog signal into a digital signal, said method comprising:
- configuring a first group of channels for transferring a conversion result of the channels in said first group to a memory via a direct memory access, and
- configuring a second group of channels by associating to each channel of said second group a respective data register, and storing conversion results of the channels of said second group in the respective data registers.
