11.6 A/D Converter Operation Modes 
The operation of each A/D converter mode is described below. In addition, the procedure for specifying each mode is 
described in 11.7 A/D Converter Setup Flowchart. 
11.6.1 Software trigger mode (sequential conversion mode) 
<1>  In the stop status, the ADCE bit of A/D converter mode register 0 (ADM0) is set to 1, and the system enters the 
A/D conversion standby status. 
<2>  After the software counts up to the stabilization wait time (1.0 
μ
 s), the ADCS bit of the ADM0 register is set to 1 
to perform the A/D conversion of the analog input specified by the analog input channel specification register 
(ADS). 
<3>  When A/D conversion ends, the conversion result is stored in the A/D conversion result register (ADCR, ADCRH), 
and the A/D conversion end interrupt request signal (INTAD) is generated. After A/D conversion ends, the next 
A/D conversion immediately starts. 
<4>  When ADCS is overwritten with 1 during conversion operation, the current A/D conversion is interrupted, and 
conversion restarts. The partially converted data is discarded. 
<5> When the value of the ADS register is rewritten or overwritten during conversion operation, the current A/D 
conversion is interrupted, and A/D conversion is performed on the analog input respecified by the ADS register.  
The partially converted data is discarded. 
<6>  Even if a hardware trigger is input during conversion operation, A/D conversion does not start. 
<7> When ADCS is cleared to 0 during conversion operation, the current A/D conversion is interrupted, and the 
system enters the A/D conversion standby status. 
<8>  When ADCE is cleared to 0 while in the A/D conversion standby status, the A/D converter enters the stop status. 
When ADCE = 0, specifying 1 for ADCS is ignored and A/D conversion does not start.
