Two-block transfer mode

ADC10CT

Bit 2

ADC10 continuous transfer.

0Data transfer stops when one block (one-block mode) or two blocks (two-block mode) have completed.

1Data is transferred continuously. DTC operation is stopped only if ADC10CT cleared, or ADC10SA is written to.

ADC10B1

Bit 1

ADC10 block one. This bit indicates for two-block mode which block is filled

 

 

with ADC10 conversion results. ADC10B1 is valid only after ADC10IFG has

 

 

been set the first time during DTC operation. ADC10TB must also be set
