Abstract

An Analog-to-Digital-Conversion control system includes a first sample and hold circuit configured to provide a first sampled output to be converted by an Analog-to-Digital-Converter, which comprises a first sampling control circuit configured to receive a first trigger information to trigger sampling of a first analog input and to receive a first collision detection information from the Analog-to-Digital-Converter to detect a collision, a first sample and hold stage coupled to the first sampling control circuit and configured to sample the first analog input, only if no collision has been detected by the first sampling control circuit, wherein the first sampling control circuit is further configured to check predefined first sampling criteria and to output a first conversion request to the Analog-to-Digital-Converter, only if the predefined first sampling criteria are fulfilled.
