ABSTRACT:
A flexible converter interface for interfacing with ADCs or DACs. The flexible converter interface may be comprised in a data acquisition device and may be a programmable ADC interface or a programmable DAC interface. The flexible converter interface may be programmed with a converter type parameter, a converter resolution parameter, and a converter data type parameter, among others, to interface with various types of ADCs or DACs and to allow for future expandability. The flexible converter interface may function as either a programmable parallel converter interface or a programmable serial converter interface depending upon the programmed converter type parameter. Additionally, functions associated with I/O pins corresponding to the flexible converter interface may vary depending upon the programmed converter resolution parameter and the programmed converter type parameter. Furthermore, the flexible converter interface may perform a data conversion operation on ADC or DAC data depending upon the programmed converter data type parameter.
