5.4 Multi-Buffered 12bit Analog-to-Digital Converter
The multibuffered A-to-D converter (MibADC) has a separate power bus for its analog circuitry that
enhances the A-to-D performance by preventing digital switching noise on the logic circuitry which could
be present on V
SS
and V
CC
from coupling into the A-to-D analog stage. All A-to-D specifications are given
with respect to AD
REFLO
unless otherwise noted.

pins (high and low reference voltages)
• Total Sample/Hold/Convert time: 600ns Minimum at 30MHz ADCLK
• One memory region per conversion group is available (event, group 1, group 2)
• Allocation of channels to conversion groups is completely programmable
• Supports flexible channel conversion order
• Memory regions are serviced either by interrupt or by DMA
• Programmable interrupt threshold counter is available for each group
• Programmable magnitude threshold interrupt for each group for any one channel
• Option to read either 8-bit, 10-bit or 12-bit values from memory regions
• Single or continuous conversion modes
• Embedded self-test
• Embedded calibration logic
• Enhanced power-down mode
– Optional feature to automatically power down ADC core when no conversion is in progress
• External event pin (ADxEVT) programmable as general-purpose I/O
5.4.2 Event Trigger Options
The ADC module supports 3 conversion groups: Event Group, Group1 and Group2. Each of these 3
groups can be configured to be hardware event-triggered. In that case, the application can select from
among 8 event sources to be the trigger for a group's conversions.
