ADC SEQUENCING

摘要

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.

1. A device comprising:
a memory configured to store memory descriptors; an peripheral controller configured to manage peripheral module using the memory descriptors; and a direct memory access system (DMA system) configured to autonomously sequence operations performed by the peripheral module without a central processing unit (CPU) intervention by transferring the memory descriptors between the memory and the peripheral controller for controlling the operations performed by the peripheral module, wherein the peripheral controller is configured to set parameters for operations performed by the peripheral module based on information included in the memory descriptors received from the DMA system, and wherein the information included in the memory descriptors are configured independent of a CPU.
