Abstract
A analog-to-digital converting device includes an analog-to-digital converting operation control unit for temporarily stopping an analog-to-digital converter in response to a trigger signal applied thereto and for restarting the analog-to-digital converter by imposing the operation conditions, which have been initially set up, on the analog-to-digital converter again. The device can forcefully terminate a scanning operation and restart analog-to-digital converting operations in a scan mode under the initially set up operating conditions without having to use an interrupt program executed by a CPU.
Claims16
An analog-to-digital converting device comprising:
- operating conditions storing means for storing operating conditions defining analog-to-digital converting operations of an analog-to-digital converter;
- and
- control means for temporarily stopping the analog-to-digital converter in response to a trigger signal and for restarting the analog-to-digital converter utilizing the operating conditions stored in said operating conditions storing means.
