Conversion Mode
Two types of ADC conversions are available: direct mode and auto mode. The CMODE (conversion mode) bit of
the AMC Configuration 0 Register specifies the conversion mode.
In direct mode, each analog channel within the specified group is converted a single time. After the last channel
is converted, the ADC goes into an idle state and waits for a new trigger.
Auto mode is a continuous operation. In auto mode, each analog channel within the specified group is converted
sequentially and repeatedly.
The flow chart of the ADC conversion sequence in Figure 82 shows the conversion process.
