Abstract
The present invention provides an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), a system-on-chip (SoC) and an electronic control system. In addition to hardware circuits commonly found in conventional ADCs, including a multi-channel input multiplexer, an analog-to-digital conversion (ADC) circuit, a sequence output multiplexer and a sequence data register, the ADC further includes a sequence management circuit and an interrupt generation circuit, which allow the ADC to operate in a streaming access mode, in which it is interrupted only when it has completed the processing of a preset number of sequences. This overcomes the problems with conventional ADCs arising from their frequent interrupts, in particular possible interrupting of a data processing algorithm running on an MCU core due to such frequent interrupts, which may affect real-time control and operation of an electronic system.
