Delay time for band gap reference to be stable. Bits 7 and 6 of the ADCTRL3
register (ADCBGRFDN1/0) are to be set to 1 before the ADCPWDN bit is
enabled.
Delay time for power-down control to be stable. Bit 5 of the ADCTRL3 register
(ADCPWDN) is to be set to 1 before any ADC conversions are initiated.

These delays are necessary and recommended to make the ADC analog reference circuit stable before conversions are initiated. If
conversions are started without these delays, the ADC results will show a higher gain. For power down, all three bits can be cleared at
the same time.
6.30.5 Detailed Description
6.30.5.1 Reference Voltage
The on-chip ADC has a built-in reference, which provides the reference voltages for the ADC. ADCVREFP
is set to 2.0 V and ADCVREFM is set to 1.0 V.
6.30.5.2 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.
6.30.5.3 Converter
The on-chip ADC uses a 12-bit four-stage pipeline architecture, which achieves a high sample rate with
low power consumption.
6.30.5.4 Conversion Modes
The conversion can be performed in two different conversion modes:
• Sequential sampling mode (SMODE = 0)
• Simultaneous sampling mode (SMODE = 1)
