26.4.2.2 CTRL2 Under Parallel Scan Modes

When the ADC operates in a parallel scan mode, the CTRL2 register is used to control the operation of

converter B. The interaction between converters A and B (and hence CTRL1 and CTRL2) is determined

by the CTRL2[SIMULT] bit. By default, CTRL2[SIMULT] equals 1 and converter B operates together

with converter A. In this case, the ST OP1, START1, SYNC1, and EOSIE1 bits in the CTRL2 register do

not affect converter B operation. If CTRL2[SIMULT] equals 0, these bits and the SYNC1 input are used

to control the converter B scan. In this case, EOSIE1 enables the EOSI1 interrupt, signaling the end of a

B converter scan. In addition, ADSTAT[CIP1] is used to indicate a converter B scan is active.

DIV
Clock Divisor Select. This field controls the divider circuit, which generates the ADC clock by dividing the
system clock by 2×DIV+1. DIV must be chosen so the ADC clock does not exceed 5.0 MHz. See Ta ble 2 6- 5
for a listing of ADC clock frequency based on the value of DIV for several configurations.

STOP1
Stop Conversion 1bit. In parallel-scan modes when SIMULT equaling 0, setting STOP1 stops parallel scans
in the B converter and prevents new scans from starting. Any further SYNC1 input pulses (see the SYNC1
field description) or writes to START1 are ignored until STOP1 is cleared. After the ADC is in stop mode, the
result registers can be modified by the processor. Any changes to the result registers in stop mode are
treated as if the analog core supplied the data. Therefore, limit checking, zero crossing, and associated
interrupts can occur if enabled.

START1
Start Conversion 1 bit. In parallel-scan modes when SIMULT equaling 0, a scan by the B converter is started
by writing a 1 to this bit. START1 is write-only. Writing 1 to the START1 bit again is ignored until the end of
the current scan. The ADC must be in a stable power configuration prior to writing to START1 (see
Section 26.5.8, “Power Management”).
