Single Conversion Register

Accessing the Single Conversion Register location initiates a single
A/D conversion.

Address:

Base address + 1D (hex)

Type:

Write-only

Word Size:

8-bit

Bit Map:

Strobe Effect:

Initiates a single ADC conversion

Note:

A/D conversions can be initiated in one of two ways—by accessing the
Single Conversion Register or by applying an active-low signal on the
EXTCONV* signal. The EXTCONV* signal is connected to the I/O
connector, to OUT3 of the Am9513A, and to the A0 pin of the RTSI bus
switch. If the Single Conversion Register is to initiate A/D conversions, all
other sources of conversion should be inhibited to avoid an OVERRUN
condition.
