Abstract
A micro-controller unit (MCU) includes an analog-to-digital converter (ADC) including an input, a timing input, and an output. The input of the ADC is configurable to couple to an output of a peripheral module. The MCU further includes a synchronous sampling controller configured to provide a clock signal to a clock output terminal configurable to couple to a clock input of the peripheral module. The synchronous sampling controller is further configured to provide a timing signal to the timing input of the ADC to synchronize sampling of a signal at the input of the ADC to timing of the peripheral module.
