The base ADC clock is provided directly by the system clock (SYSCLK). SYSCLK is used to generate the ADC acquisition window. The register ADCCTL2 has a PRESCALE field that determines the ADCCLK. ADCCLK is used to clock the converter, and is only active during the conversion phase. At all other times, including during the sample-and-hold window, the ADCCLK signal is gated off.
In 16-bit mode, the core requires approximately 29.5 ADCCLK cycles to process a voltage into a conversion result, while in 12-bit mode, this process requires approximately 10.5 ADCCLK cycles. The choice of resolution also determines the necessary duration of the acquisition window, see Section 11.13.2.
