6.29.5 Detailed Description
6.29.5.1 Reference Voltage
The on-chip ADC has a built-in reference, which provides the reference voltages for the ADC. ADCVREFP
is set to 2 V and ADCVREFM is set to 1 V.
6.29.5.2 Analog Inputs
The on-chip ADC consists of 16 analog inputs, which are sampled either one at a time or two channels at
a time. These inputs are software-selectable.
6.29.5.3 Converter
The on-chip ADC uses a 12-bit four-stage pipeline architecture, which achieves a high sample rate with
low power consumption.
6.29.5.4 Conversion Modes
The conversion can be performed in two different conversion modes:
Sequential sampling mode (SMODE = 0)
Simultaneous sampling mode (SMODE = 1)
6.29.6 Sequential Sampling Mode (Single Channel) (SMODE = 0)
In sequential sampling mode, the ADC can continuously convert input signals on any of the channels (Ax
to Bx). The ADC can start conversions on event triggers from the Event Managers (EVA/EVB), software
trigger, or from an external ADCSOC signal. If the SMODE bit is 0, the ADC does conversions on the
selected channel on every Sample/Hold pulse. The conversion time and latency of the Result register
update are explained below. The ADC interrupt flags are set a few SYSCLKOUT cycles after the Result
register update. The selected channel is sampled at every falling edge of the Sample/Hold pulse. The
Sample/Hold pulse width can be programmed to be one ADC clock wide (minimum) or 16 ADC clocks
wide (maximum).
