  • Field device including a software configurable analog to digital converter system
    Patent number: 9626335
    Abstract: A method of analog to digital conversion for a field device having an analog to digital converter system (ADCS) including an ADC and a plurality of filters. An analog sensing signal is received from a sensor which measures a level of a physical parameter in a manufacturing system that runs a physical process. A level of the physical parameter is compared to reference noise data. Based on the comparing, at least one ADCS parameter is determined. The ADCS parameter is implemented to configure the ADCS. The ADCS is utilized with the ADCS parameter to generate a filtered digitized sensing signal from the analog sensing signal.
