26.5.4 Sequential vs. Parallel Sampling

All scan modes make use of the 8 SAMPLE slots in the ADLST1 and ADLST2 registers. These slots are
used to define which single-ended input or differential input pair is measured at each step in a scan
sequence. The SDIS register is used to disable unneeded slots.
Differential measurements are made on input pairs AN0/1, AN2/3, AN4/5, and AN6/7 using the CHNCFG
field of the CTRL1 register. A single ended measurement is made if a SAMPLE slot refers to an input not
configured as a member of a differential pair by CHNCFG. A differential measurement is made if a
SAMPLE slot refers to either member of a diff erential pair. Refer to the CHNCFG field description in the
CTRL1 register for details of differential and single ended measurement.
Scan modes are sequential or parallel, as defined by the SMODE field of the CTRL1 register. In
sequential scans, up to 8 SAMPLE slots are sampled one at a time in the order SAMPLE 0-7. Each
SAMPLE slot may refer to any of the 8 analog inputs (AN0-7), thus the same input may be referenced by
more than one SAMPLE slot. Scanning is initiated when the START0 bit is written as 1 or, if the SYNC0
