8.5.1 Conversion speed and sampling period
Conversion speed is the rate at which an A/D converter module converts analog input values.
A sampling period is the period of conversion processing within the one channel.
A conversion period is the period of the update of a digital operation value with the A/D conversion method (sampling
processing or averaging processing) taken into account, and is equivalent to an integral multiple of the sampling
period. ( Page 95, Section 8.6)
The following figure shows the relationship between conversion speed and a sampling period.
The sampling cycle varies depending on the type of main analog module, the conversion speed, the type of extension
module, and the number of conversion enabled channels.
The following table shows the classification.
*1 For a D/A converter module, this column corresponds to the conversion period.
