Abstract

A digital interface circuit includes a queue block configured to be coupled between an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) and a Direct Memory Access (DMA) controller of a processor, where the queue block comprises a command buffer and is configured to: receive a first command from the DMA controller; store the first command in the command buffer; modify the first command in accordance with first control bits of the first command to generate a modified first command; and send the modified first command to the ADC.
