When a conversion is aborted, the contents of the data registers, ADRH and ADRL, are not altered but
continue to be the values transferred after the completion of the last successful conversion. In the case
that the conversion was aborted by a reset, ADRH and ADRL return to their reset states.
Upon reset or when a conversion is otherwise aborted, the ADC10 module will enter a low power, inactive
state. In this state, all internal clocks and references are disabled. This state is entered asynchronously
and immediately upon aborting of a conversion.
3.3.3.4 Total Conversion Time
The total conversion time depends on many factors such as sample time, bus frequency, whether
ACLKEN is set, and synchronization time. The total conversion time is summarized in
Table 3-1.The maximum total conversion time for a single conversion or the first conversion in continuous
conversion mode is determined by the clock source chosen and the divide ratio selected. The clock
source is selectable by ADICLK and ACLKEN, and the divide ratio is specified by ADIV. For example, if
the alternative clock source is 16 MHz and is selected as the input clock source, the input clock
divide-by-8 ratio is selected and the bus frequency is 4 MHz, then the conversion time for a single 10-bit
conversion is:
NOTE
The ADCK frequency must be between fADCK minimum and fADCK
maximum to meet A/D specifications.
