Abstract

The disclosed A/D conversion system is designed to signal the beginning or the impending beginning of an A/D conversion and/or to request the implementation of an A/D conversion from another A/D converter. As a result, it is possible to have a plurality of A/D converters work absolutely time-synchronously with minimal outlay.
