Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed. An example apparatus includes interface circuitry to receive an analog signal. The example apparatus also includes sequencer circuitry to: determine whether the apparatus is to operate in a single transfer state or a multiple transfer state; access a configuration from a control register in a plurality of control registers; initiate a conversion of the analog signal to a digital value based on the configuration; and write the digital value to a result register in a plurality of result registers based on the determination.
Claims20
A device comprising:
- a plurality of control registers;
- a plurality of result registers;
- and
- an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), wherein the device is configured to:
- in a single transfer state of the device,
- initiate a first analog to digital conversion using the ADC based on content of a first control register of the plurality of control registers, and
- store a first conversion result of the first analog to digital conversion in a first result register of the plurality of result registers;
- and
- in a multiple transfer state of the device,
- initiate a first set of multiple analog to digital conversions using the ADC based on content of a second control register of the plurality of control registers, and
- store conversion results corresponding to the first set of multiple analog to digital conversions in a first set of multiple result registers of the plurality of result registers.
A method comprising:
- in a single transfer state of a device comprising a plurality of control registers, a plurality of result registers, and an analog-to-digital converter (ADC):
- initiating a first analog to digital conversion using the ADC based on content of a first control register of the plurality of control registers, and
- storing a first conversion result of the first analog to digital conversion in a first result register of the plurality of result registers;
- and
- in a multiple transfer state of the device:
- initiating a first set of multiple analog to digital conversions using the ADC based on content of a second control register of the plurality of control registers, and
- storing conversion results corresponding to the first set of multiple analog to digital conversions in a first set of multiple result registers of the plurality of result registers.
