Synchronized control mode synchronizes the ADC channels on the rising edge of the START pin. Conversions continue whether START is high or low. Apply a single synchronizing pulse input or a continuous clock input to the START pin.
As shown in Figure 7-26, synchronization occurs on the first START rising edge. If the time to the next START rising edge is an n multiple of the conversion period within a ±1 / fCLK window, the ADC does not resynchronize (n = 1, 2, 3, and so on). Resynchronization does not occur because the ADC conversion period is equal to the period of the START signal. Conversely, if the START signal period is not an n multiple of the conversion period within ± one fCLK cycle, the ADC channels resynchronize. There is no limit to the time period of the START signal.
Figure 7-26 shows the ADC resynchronizing when the period of START input is not equal to a single or multiples of the conversion period. As a result of the digital filter processing time, a time difference exists between the START signal that caused synchronization and the resulting FSYNC output signal. The time difference varies with the OSR value of the filter.
