Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC)

ADICLK — ADC Input Clock Select Bit

ADICLK selects either bus clock or CGMXCLK as the input clock source to generate the internal ADC clock. Reset selects CGMXCLK as the ADC clock source.

If the external clock (CGMXCLK) is equal to or greater than 1 MHz, CGMXCLK can be used as the clock source for the ADC. If CGMXCLK is less than 1 MHz, use the PLL-generated bus clock as the clock source. As long as the internal ADC clock is at fADIC, correct operation can be guaranteed. See

19.13Analog-to-Digital Converter (ADC) Characteristics. 1 = Internal bus clock

0 = External clock, CGMXCLK

fADIC = CGMXCLK or bus frequency ADIV[2:0]

MODE1:MODE0 — Modes of Result Justification Bits

MODE1:MODE0 selects among four modes of operation. The manner in which the ADC conversion results will be placed in the ADC data registers is controlled by these modes of operation. Reset returns right-justified mode.

00= 8-bit truncation mode

01= Right justified mode

10= Left justified mode

11= Left justified sign data mode
