Abstract

An A/D converter arrangement comprises an A/D converter (6) to which analog signals from a plurality of signal channels (2) can be fed for A/D conversion. With the help of an appropriate control means (8), converter parameters of the A/D converter (6) or even other operating parameters of the A/D converter arrangement, such as certain functions performed in response to an A/D conversion which has been carried out for example, are set in a channel-specific way as a function of the signal channel (2) which is to be converted at the time.
