  • ADC sequencing
    Patent number: 9032116
    Abstract: A device comprises a central processing unit (CPU) and a memory configured for storing memory descriptors. The device also includes an analog-to-digital converter controller (ADC controller) configured for managing an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) using the memory descriptors. In addition, the device includes a direct memory access system (DMA system) configured for autonomously sequencing conversion operations performed by the ADC without CPU intervention by transferring the memory descriptors directly between the memory and the ADC controller for controlling the conversion operations performed by the ADC.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 7, 2014
    Date of Patent: May 12, 2015
    Assignee: Atmel Corporation
    Inventors: Frode Milch Pedersen, Romain Oddoart, Cedric Favier
