The ADC ([http://www.analog.com/en/prod/0%2C2877%2CAD7928%2C00.html AD7928]) and Temperature Sensor ([http://www.analog.com/en/prod/0%2C2877%2CAD7314%2C00.html AD7314]) communicate over very similar, SPI-like interfaces. From this arose the idea of merging the controllers for these chips into a single module in the FPGA.

It was therefore decided that the controllers for these chips should be merges into a single module in the FPGA. The combined module serves to abstract the details of the communication protocol with these sensors.
