17.5.12 Acquisition Time Considerations Using Clocked Conversion
Trigger and Automatic Sampling
Different acquisition/conversion sequences provide different available acquisition times for the
sample-and-hold channel to acquire the analog signal. The user must ensure the acquisition time
exceeds the acquisition requirements, as outlined in
17.5.20 “ADC Sampling Requirements”
Assuming that the module is set for automatic sampling and using a clocked conversion trigger,
the acquisition interval is determined by the SAMC<4:0> bits (AD1CON3<12:8>).
