22.1 Overview
This microcontrollers implements up to two instances of the ADC module. The main features of the ADC
module are:
• Selectable 10-bit or 12-bit resolution
• Successive-approximation-register architecture
• Three conversion groups – Group1, Group2, and Event Group
• All three conversion groups can be configured to be hardware-triggered; group1 and group2 can also
be triggered by software
• Conversion results are stored in a 64-word memory (SRAM)
– These 64 words are divided between the three conversion groups and are configurable by software
– Accesses to the conversion result RAM are protected by parity
• Flexible options for generating DMA requests for transferring conversion results
• Selectable channel conversion order
– Sequential conversions in ascending order of channel number, OR
– User-defined channel conversion order with the Enhanced Channel Selection Mode
• The Enhanced Channel Selection Mode is only available to ADC1.
• Single or continuous conversion modes
• Embedded self-test logic for input channel failure detection (open / short to power / short to ground)
• Embedded calibration logic for offset error correction
• Enhanced Power-down mode
• External event pin (ADEVT) to trigger conversions
– ADEVT is also programmable as general-purpose I/O
• Eight hardware events to trigger conversions
The two instances of the 12-bit ADC modules on the microcontroller share 16 analog input channels. The
connections are shown in Figure 22-1.
• ADC1 supports 32 channels.
• ADC2 supports 25 channels, of which 16 channels are shared with ADC1.
• When using both ADC1 and ADC2 on a shared channel, the sample windows must be identical such
that the sample windows completely match each other or non-overlapping with a minimum of 2 ADC
cycles buffer between the end of one ADC’s sample window and the start of the other ADC’s sample
window.
• The reference voltages, as well as operating supply and ground, are shared between the two ADC
cores.
