Method and apparatus for flexible analog-to-digital conversion

摘要

An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) includes storage for one or more configuration parameter values. Configuration parameter values stored in the storage locations are used by control logic to configure the ADC's conversion mechanism. The configuration values may be arranged in lists that the control logic cycles through in order to modify the configuration of the ADC's conversion mechanism. The control logic may change from one list, or series of lists, to another in order to adapt the ADC to changing circumstances. The changing circumstances may include the changing state of charge in a battery monitoring application.
