PRODUCTION DATA
The trigger signal must be generated for the ADC to exit the idle state and start conversions. 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, use the GEN_STATUS.ADC_BUSY bit to determine when a direct-mode conversion is complete, and the ADC has returned to the idle state. Similarly, monitor the TRIGGER.ADC bit to see if the ADC has returned to the idle state.
