Abstract
Various embodiments relate to analog-to-digital converter (ADC) controllers. An ADC controller may include a number of input channels and an ADC selectively coupled to each input channel of the number of input channels. The ADC controller may further include a number of contexts operatively coupled to the ADC, wherein each context of the number of contexts is associated with an input channel of the number of input channels. Further, each context may include at least one register for storing at least one configurable parameter. The ADC controller may also include a sequencer operatively coupled to the number of context and configured to perform a programmed conversion sequence on one or more input channels of the number of input channels based on one or more configurable parameters of one or more contexts of the number of contexts.
