Note 1: If the A/D clock source is selected as RC, a time of TCY is added before the A/D clock starts.
This allows the SLEEPinstruction to be executed.
2: This is a minimal RC delay (typically 100 nS), which also disconnects the holding capacitor from the
analog input.

µs This may be used if the
“new” input voltage has not
changed by more than 1LSb
(i.e. 5 mV @ 5.12V) from the
last sampled voltage (as
stated on CHOLD).
Note 1: ADRES register may be read on the following TCY cycle.
2: See the Section 16.0 for minimum conditions, when input voltage has changed more than 1 LSb.
3: The time for the holding capacitor to acquire the “New” input voltage, when the voltage changes full scale
after the conversion (AVDD to AVSS, or AVSS to AVDD). The source impedance (RS) on the input channels is
50 Ω.
4: On the next Q4 cycle of the device clock.
5: The time of the A/D clock period is dependent on the device frequency and the TAD clock divider.
