Abstract
A data acquisition device includes an integrated circuit and an information processor. The integrated circuit has a first terminal for receiving a master/slave switching signal upon start of data acquisition, an ADC for converting analog input data to digital data, and an output terminal for outputting the digital data. The information processor generates the master/slave switching signal, and has a second terminal connected to the first terminal and for outputting the master/slave switching signal, and an input terminal connected to the output terminal and for receiving the digital data. The information processor operates in the master mode when the integrated circuit operates in the slave mode. The information processor operates in the slave when the integrated circuit operates in the master mode. The integrated circuit outputs the digital data when operating in the master mode according to the master/slave switching signal.
