6.3.1.3 Internal Oscillator

The device features an internal oscillator (OSC) that provides the conversion clock; see Figure 6-1. Conversion duration can vary but is bounded by the minimum and maximum value of tconv, as specified in the Timing Requirements: Conversion Cycle table.

The interface module can use this internal clock (OSC) or an external clock (provided by the host controller on the SCLK pin) or a combination of the internal and external clocks for executing the data transfer operations between the device and host controller; see the Interface Module section for more details.
