Fast Analog-to-Digital Converter (FADC)
The TC1796 contains two medium speed Analog-to-Digital Converters (ADC0 and
ADC1) with identical functionality and a third Fast Analog-to-Digital Converter (FADC).
ADC0 and ADC1 provide 2-3
µ
s conversion time (10-bit) and are intended mainly for
single-ended signals. The FADC offers conversion rates of less than 500 ns, thus
allowing sampling of high frequency signals. For slow and mid-range frequency signals,
heavy over-sampling can be performed to avoid the use of expensive filters.
ADC0 and ADC1 are described in
. This chapter describes in detail the
FADC and contains the following sections:

TC1796 implementation-specific details and registers of the FADC module, including
on-chip interconnections, service request control, address decoding, and clock
control (see
Note: The FADC Kernel register names described in
will be referenced in
the TC1796 User’s Manual with the module name prefix “FADC_” for the ADC1
interface.
