Can someone explain what's the difference between the lwadc and the adc on the MQX RTOS? Why is it quicker to use lwadc?

Any help is appreciated.

Hello Ryan,

You should look into MQX IO Drivers Users Guide, where both options are described, and select the one that you like more.

LW means less CPU overhead, less features. Less features might be enough for most applications.

However, for adc, my recommendation is to use the lwadc. These lw io drivers are better and more usable.


Have a great day,
Sol
