Abstract
The invention relates to a method for synchronizing a plurality of analogue-digital or digital-analogue converters (CONV_k), the converters (CONV_k) all being connected to a control unit (UC), and to a clock (CLK) that has a predefined clock period (T), the converters being also chained step-by-step so as to form a chain of converters, each converter (CONV_k) generating an internal synchronization signal (internal_sync_k) configured to supply a time reference on the transmission of data by the converter (CONV_k). The method allows the synchronization of the converters to be guaranteed using a process of learning and of configuration of the converters. The method allows any line distance constraint on the synchronization signal to be overcome.
