Queued Analog-to-Digital Converter (QADC)
The queued analog-to-digital converter (QADC) is a 10-bit, unipolar, successive approximation converter.
Up to eight analog input channels can be supported using internal multiplexing. A maximum of 18 input
channels can be supported in the expanded, externally multiplexed mode.
The QADC consists of an analog front-end and a digital control subsystem. The analog section includes
input pins, an analog multiplexer, and sample and hold analog circuits.
The digital control section contains queue control logic to sequence the conversion process and interrupt
generation logic. Also included are the periodic/interval timer, control and status registers, the conversion
command word (CCW) table, random-access memory (RAM), and the result table RAM.
The bus interface unit (BIU) provides access to registers that configure the QADC, control the
analog-to-digital converter and queue mechanism, and present formatted conversion results.
