The ENABLE bit in the PWREN register enables or disables the ADC peripheral. The ADC should be disabled when it is not in use to save power. The PWRDN bit in the CTL0 register selects the ADC power down policy between AUTO and MANUAL. This takes effect when the ADC operates in RUN, SLEEP, and STOP MCU power modes.
PWRDN should be configured based on the max ADC sampling rate required and the operational needs in different MCU power modes. ADC hardware does not force the power down policy to AUTO during operation in STOP mode. It follows the user setting irrespective of the device power modes.
The reset value of PWRDN is 0, which has the default behavior of automatic power down of the ADC peripheral at the end of a conversion and when the next sample signal is not required to be asserted immediately. When the PWRDN bit is set to ‘1’ it selects manual power down behavior. In this setting, the ADC is not powered down at the end of a conversion and remains enabled. This means that the ADC peripheral would only be powered down using the PWREN register.
