FIFO
Result Register FIFO Mode
— If this bit is zero (non-FIFO mode), the A/D conversion results map into the result
registers based on the conversion sequence; the result of the first conversion appears in the first result register,
the second result in the second result register, and so on.
If this bit is one (FIFO mode) the conversion counter is not reset at the beginning or ending of a conversion
sequence; sequential conversion results are placed in consecutive result registers. In a continuously scanning
conversion sequence, the result register counter will wrap around when it reaches the end of the result register
file. The conversion counter value (CC2-0 in ATDSTAT0) can be used to determine where in the result register
file, the current conversion result will be placed.
Aborting a conversion or starting a new conversion by write to an ATDCTL register (ATDCTL5-0) clears the
conversion counter even if FIFO=1. So the first result of a new conversion sequence, started by writing to
ATDCTL5, will always be place in the first result register (ATDDDR0). Intended usage of FIFO mode is continuos
conversion (SCAN=1) or triggered conversion (ETRIG=1).
Which result registers hold valid data can be tracked using the conversion complete flags. Fast flag clear mode
may or may not be useful in a particular application to track valid data.
0 Conversion results are placed in the corresponding result register up to the selected sequence length.
1 Conversion results are placed in consecutive result registers (wrap around at end).

Background Debug Freeze Enable
— When debugging an application, it is useful in many cases to have the
ATD pause when a breakpoint (Freeze Mode) is encountered. These 2 bits determine how the ATD will respond
to a breakpoint as shown in
. Leakage onto the storage node and comparator reference capacitors may
compromise the accuracy of an immediately frozen conversion depending on the length of the freeze period.
