0

0

Single A/D conversions are triggered by write to B+0.

 

 

STS stays high during the A/D conversion.

 

 

No interrupt occurs.

 

 

The user program monitors STS and reads A/D data when it goes low.

 

 

 

0

1

A/D scans are triggered by write to B+0. All channels between LOW and HIGH will

 

 

be sampled.

 

 

STS stays high during the entire scan (multiple A/D conversions).

 

 

No interrupt occurs.

 

 

The user program monitors STS and reads all A/D values when it goes low.

 

 

 

1

0

Single A/D conversions are triggered by the source selected with ADCLK.

 

 

STS stays high during the A/D conversion.

 

 

A/D interrupt occurs when the FIFO reaches its programmed threshold.

 

 

The interrupt routine reads out a number of samples equal to the FIFO threshold

 

 

each time it runs.
