Claim Text:
1. An apparatus comprising: an analog to digital converter (ADC) circuit comprising an analog input to receive a first analog signal, a trigger input to receive a trigger signal to initiate conversion of the first analog signal, a first control input to receive control information to control a conversion characteristic, an output to provide a digital representation of the first analog signal, and a status output to provide a status signal representative of a status of the ADC circuit subject to the conversion characteristic; and a control circuit comprising a first input, a first output coupled to the trigger input of the ADC circuit to provide the trigger signal to initiate conversion of the first analog signal, and a control output coupled to the first control input of the ADC circuit to provide the control information to the ADC circuit, wherein the control circuit determines the control information in response to input information received at the first input, wherein the input information received at the first input is at least one of an timing input signal and a change of a parameter value of the first analog signal, and the conversion characteristic is one of a first conversion rate and a first conversion resolution.
