Abstract :
A new method for ADC IP integration in a mixed-signal MCU is proposed in this paper. The single conversion of ADC is controlled by three modes: software triggered mode, hardware triggered mode and PWM triggered mode. ADC and the PWM control module can work independently under software and hardware triggered mode. PWM triggered mode used for real-time monitoring is an innovation of the paper, which simplifies software and improves the operating efficiency of MCU. The design of the ADC control module is elaborated and full-chip mixed-signal verification using Nanosim-VCS is also given.
