Abstract
A method for A/D conversion of analog signals using an A/D converter, and to an appropriate A/D converter circuit. In order to process converter request signals from different converter request sources requesting analog signals for conversion, the invention proposes assigning definable, selectable priorities to the different converter request sources. If there is a request for A/D conversion from a converter request source, the system establishes which of the converter request sources requesting A/D conversion has the highest priority. An analog signal from this selected converter request source is then supplied to the A/D converter.
