Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)
An analog-to-digital converter (ADC) is a peripheral that converts a continuous analog voltage to a
discrete digital number.
The Stellaris ADC module features 10-bit conversion resolution and supports four input channels,
plus an internal temperature sensor. The ADC module contains a programmable sequencer which
allows for the sampling of multiple analog input sources without controller intervention. Each
sample sequence provides flexible programming with fully configurable input source, trigger
events, interrupt generation, and sequence priority.
The Stellaris ADC provides the following features:
Four analog input channels
Single-ended and differential-input configurations
Internal temperature sensor
Sample rate of 250 thousand samples/second
Four programmable sample conversion sequences from one to eight entries long, with
corresponding conversion result FIFOs
Flexible trigger control
