+
+class ADCBlock -- control ADC peripherals
+=========================================
+
+The ADCBlock class provides access to an ADC peripheral which has a
+number of channels that can be used to sample analog values.  It allows
+finer control over configuration of :ref:`machine.ADC <machine.ADC>`
+objects, which do the actual sampling.
+
+This class is not always available.
+
+Example usage::
+
+   from machine import ADCBlock
+
+   block = ADCBlock(id, bits=12)  # create an ADCBlock with 12-bit resolution
+   adc = block.connect(4, pin)    # connect channel 4 to the given pin
+   val = adc.read_uv()            # read an analog value
+
+Constructors
+------------
+
+.. class:: ADCBlock(id, *, bits)
+
+   Access the ADC peripheral identified by *id*, which may be an integer
+   or string.
+   
+   The *bits* argument, if given, sets the resolution in bits of the
+   conversion process.  If not specified then the previous or default
+   resolution is used.
+
+Methods
+-------
+
+.. method:: ADCBlock.init(*, bits)
+
+   Configure the ADC peripheral.  *bits* will set the resolution of the
+   conversion process.
+
+.. method:: ADCBlock.connect(channel)
+            ADCBlock.connect(source)
+            ADCBlock.connect(channel, source)
+
+   Connect up a channel on the ADC peripheral so it is ready for sampling,
+   and return an :ref:`ADC <machine.ADC>` object that represents that connection.
+
+   The *channel* argument must be an integer, and *source* must be an object
+   (for example a :ref:`Pin <machine.Pin>`) which can be connected up for sampling.
+
+   If only *channel* is given then it is configured for sampling.
+
+   If only *source* is given then that object is connected to a default
+   channel ready for sampling.
+
+   If both *channel* and *source* are given then they are connected together
+   and made ready for sampling.
