6.3.2.1 ADC Operation

The device ADC supports direct-mode and auto-mode conversions. Both conversion modes use a custom channel sequencer to determine which of the input channels are converted by the ADC. The sequence order is fixed. The user selects the start channel and stop channel of the conversion sequence. The conversion method and channel sequence are specified in the ADC Configuration registers. The default conversion method is auto-mode. Figure 6-8 shows the ADC conversion sequence.

To use the ADC, first enable the ADC buffer by setting ADC_CFG.BUF_PD = 0. Then wait at least 210 μs before setting the trigger using the TRIGGER.ADC bit. An internal delay is forced if the trigger signal is sent before the timer has expired. Make sure the ADC is not converting before setting the ADC_CFG.BUF_PD = 1. If ADC_CFG.BUF_PD is set to 1 while the ADC is still converting, the internal timer delays this command. When the timer expires, the enable signal for the ADC is cleared, and the current conversion finishes before powering down the ADC and the ADC Buffer.

A trigger signal must occur for the ADC to exit the idle state. The ADC trigger is generated through the TRIGGER.ADC bit. The ADC data registers have the latest available data. Accessing the data registers does not interfere with the conversion process, and thus provides continuous ADC operation.

In direct-mode conversion, the selected ADC input channels are converted on demand by issuing an ADC trigger signal. After the last enabled channel is converted, the ADC enters the idle state and waits for a new trigger. Read the results of the ADC conversion through the register map. Direct-mode conversion is typically used to gather the ADC data of any of the data channels. In direct-mode, use the ADC_BUSY bit to determine when a direct-mode conversion is complete and the ADC has returned to the idle state. Direct mode is set by writing ADC_CFG.DIRECT_MODE = 1.

In auto-mode conversion, the selected ADC input channels are converted continuously. The conversion cycle is initiated by issuing an ADC trigger. Upon completion of the first conversion sequence, another sequence is automatically started. Conversion of the selected channels occurs repeatedly until the auto-mode conversion is stopped by clearing the ADC trigger signal. Auto-mode conversion is not typically used to gather the ADC data. Instead, auto-mode conversions are used in combination with upper and lower ADC data thresholds to detect when the data has exceeded the programmable out-of-range alarm thresholds. Auto mode is set by writing ADC_CFG.DIRECT_MODE = 0.

Regardless of the selected conversion method, update the ADC configuration register only while the ADC is in the idle state. Do not change the ADC configuration bits while the ADC is converting channels. Before changing configuration bits, disable the ADC and verify that GEN_STATUS.ADC_BUSY = 0.
