The ADC converts analog signals to digital values. The ADC has 12-bit resolution and is capable
of converting up to 2 Million Samples Per Second (MSPS). The input selection is flexible, and
both single-ended and differential measurements can be done. For differential measurements
an optional gain stage is available to increase the dynamic range. In addition several internal
signal inputs are available. The ADC can provide both signed and unsigned results.
This is a pipelined ADC that consists of several consecutive stages. The pipelined design allows
high sample rate at a low System Clock frequency. It also means that a new input can be sam-
pled and a new ADC conversion started while other ADC conversions are still ongoing. This
remove dependencies between sample rate and propagation delay.
The ADC has four conversion channels (Channel 0-3) with individual input selection, result reg-
isters and conversion start control. The ADC can then keep and use four parallel configurations
and results, and this will ease use for applications with high data throughput or multiple modules
using the ADC independently. It is possible to use DMA to move ADC results directly to memory
or peripherals when conversions are done.
