9 MADC
9.1 General Description
The TPS65950 shares the MADC resource with the host processors in the system (hardware and
software conversion modes) and its BCI. Therefore, the TPS65950 must:
• Manage potential concurrent requests of conversions and priority among resource users
• Flag, using interrupt signals, the end-of-sequence of conversions
• Grant quarter-bit accuracy for modem conversion of battery voltage
The quarter-bit accurate start signal is provided through a STARTADC from the host processor (real-time
conversion).
The MADC generates interrupt signals to the host processors. Interrupts are handled primarily by the
MADC internal secondary interrupt handler (SIH) and secondly at the upper level (outside the MADC) by
the TPS65950 primary interrupt handler (PIH). The MADC indicates to the BCI module, through a data
ready signal, that conversion results are available.
